LOST DOG
Written by Larry Powell

Reading followed by a 20 Minute Talkback

ABOUT THE PLAY:
Bryce and Blake are brothers. They are very, very close but are somehow growing apart at record rates. Is it because Bryce can't stop breaking things? Is it because Bryce needs more money from his older brother Blake? Is it because Blake can't let his younger brother breathe? When Aspen, the famous instagram celeb Dog is stolen, Supernatural Mirrors are held up in an attempt to get them to see each other in a real and compassionate way. They have to get Aspen back safely but it make take them much more forgiveness than they're willing to spend.
