Diggity Dog Days
Diggity Dog Days
a puppet show for adults about an irrepressible dog and his aging owner
created and performed solo by Margo McCreary
with live music and original songs composed by Marya Hart and drums and percussion by Jeremy Anderson
directed by Zaraawar Mistry
It's a dog's life. Jack the Dog is here to w.a.l.k. you through the ins and outs of being a dog. Come to Dreamland Arts. Sit. Stay.
When changes in his aging owner's life begin to affect his everyday routine, Jack the dog responds doggedly, causing confusion and distress for all. An unexpected adventure to the dog park threatens to only make matters worse, but a brood of neighborly urban chickens intervenes to save the day! Set to a jazzy score with lively songs, Diggity Dog Days is a good frolic on heartache and hope. Recommended for adults.
