Goat in the Road Brings NUMB to New York

By:

New Orleans-based collaborative theater company Goat in the Road brings their award-winning play Numb to New York audiences. The show follows a trio of stories, each tied to the 19th-century origins of anesthesiology and the first personalities to experiment with pain-free surgery. Combining history, neuroscience, wonky movement and an immersive soundscape, Numb paints an entertaining and heartbreaking portrait of scientific progress and the search for intoxication.


DATES/TIMES: Wednesday - Saturday, Dec. 7 - 10 at 8 pm

TICKETS: $18 each event, at www.jackny.org or cash only at the door.

LOCATION: JACK | 505 ½ Waverly Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11238 | C or G train to Clinton-Washington


Numb, directed by Chris Kaminstein, features Goat in the Road ensemble members Leslie Boles Kraus, Todd D'Amour, Shannon Flaherty, Ian Hoch, and Dylan Hunter, as well as Jake Bartush and Emilie Whelan, with sound design by Kyle Sheehan and stage managed by Darci Fulcher.
