Goat Island was a collaborative performance group based in Chicago, USA.[1] It was founded in 1987 and consisted of the core group members Karen Christopher, Matthew Goulish, Lin Hixson (director), Mark Jeffery, Bryan Saner and Litó Walkey. In 2006, Goat Island announced that their ninth performance, The Lastmaker (2007), would be the last work that they would create as a company. Goat Island ended with final performances of The Lastmaker at Swain Hall, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, February 2009. Individual members went on to pursue new projects and collaborations: Goulish and Hixson’s Every house has a door.[2]
