Theater For The New City pres-
ents Beltsville/Rockville, Part 1:
Rise of the Goatman, an original
play by Englewood resident Matt
Okin (Artistic Director of Black
Box Studios), from December 27
through January 13.
In this pseudo-Southern Gothic
dark comedy, a vibrant group
of teens from two very different suburban neighborhoods clash
over class differences, drugs, and
sex - and the existence of the leg-
endary ‘Goatman’ in 1986. Cut to
2013, and the adolescent kids of
those very same teens are strug-
gling to make sense of their fami-
ly histories - and the same “myth-
ological” creature - that could be
holding them back in life.
