New Play Goat Blood to Premiere at MexFest in The Tank on September 19th

(New York, NY) – Goat Blood, an exciting new play, will have a staged reading at The Tank as part of the highly anticipated MexFest on September 19th. Directed by acclaimed director Rodrigo Ernesto Bolaños (Eight Tales of Pedro), and penned by award-winning playwright Mark-Eugene Garcia (Eight Tales of Pedro, Shining in Misery: A King-Size Parody), the reading will star a talented cast including Sergio Caetano, Billy Peck, and Gabriel Rosario.

Set on the outskirts of town in the back of a pickup truck, Goat Blood tells the story of two coworkers, Pablo and Owen, who find themselves waiting for their dates. What begins as a lighthearted conversation about tacos, friendship, and heritage soon deepens into something more—a potent attraction sparking beneath their playful banter. However, their connection takes a chilling turn with the arrival of a menacing Chupacabra, an unsettling presence that threatens to shatter their peaceful evening. Owen's fear of the creature is nothing compared to the revelation that the Chupacabra has been a dark part of Pablo's life all along.
