Children and families are the stars of “Mountain Goat Mountain,” the interactive, immersive theater experience coming to living rooms Feb. 20 through March 21 from Chicago’s Filament Theatre, in partnership with Australian company Threshold.
During “Mountain Goat Mountain” families are guided by a narrative soundscape to create their own magic with simple items such as a bedsheet, a phone or computer, pencils and paper during the 45-minute experience.
Critics and parents alike have hailed the inventive performance, calling it “perfectly pitched” (Sunday Business Post, Ireland), “one of the most beautiful family arts adventures I have ever seen” (Early Arts UK) and “one of our fondest memories of this topsy-turvy time in history” (a parent).
A “Mountain Goat Mountain” pass grants families 30 days of unlimited, on-demand access. Tickets are available here.
As an added treat, Filament Theatre has partnered with their neighbor, Fannie’s Cafe, to provide freshly baked snacks for the whole family to bring on their at-home adventure. Local audience members can add an Adventure Snack Pack to their order for pick up between February 20-March 21 at Fannie's Cafe.
Any amount donated at check out will go to help both Filament Theatre and Fannie’s Cafe cover lost income due to COVID-19.
“The children have asked to do ‘Mountain Goat Mountain’ again and again, and as it’s the closest we will come to actual travel for a while, I have agreed.” — NEW YORK TIMES
