As a director, Goldberg’s eclectic body of work has been seen in venues large and small around the globe. Some of his notable productions include:

  • The Bomb-itty of Errors - a hip-hop adaption of the Shakespeare comedy which premiered off-Broadway before moving to the Edinburgh Festival and the West End.
  • Daddy Cool - The Boney M Musical at the Shaftesbury Theatre.
  • A one-man production of Macbeth, co-directed with John Tiffany, and starring Alan Cumming for the National Theatre of Scotland and the Lincoln Center Festival before transferring to the Barrymore Theatre on Broadway.

More recently, Goldberg co-founded the collaborative performance group, The Institute for Psychogeographic Adventure, which creates large-scale, community-based performance adventures for one audience member at a time.

Goldberg holds a BA in English from Stanford University, an MFA in Performance and Interactive Media Arts from Brooklyn College. He is currently finishing his PhD at the CUNY Graduate Center where his research concerns dramaturgies of audience participation in contemporary political theatre.
