A satire about an imaginary Southern town where all the black people have suddenly disappeared. The blacks begin to reappear, as mysteriously as they had vanished, and the white community, sobered by what has transpired, breathes a sigh of relief at the return of the rather uneasy status quo. What will happen next is left unsaid, but the suggestion is strong that things will never quite be the same again.

Go, Dog. Go!
Go, Dog. Go!
Adapted by Allison Gregory & Steven Dietz . Adapted from the book “Go, Dog. Go!” by P.D. Eastman
Music Composed by Michael Koerner
May 23 through June 14, 2008
Student Matinees begin May 20.
Big Dog. Little Dog. Blue, Red & Green Dogs. Dogs at Work, Dogs at Play. P.D. Eastman's classic children's book comes to life on the Le Moyne stage in a free-for-all of movement, color and space—a spectacular carnival built on music and physical comedy. The dogs dive into life with gusto, creating visual delights for the audiences of all ages. They snorkel. They howl at the moon. They ride a ferris wheel and drive their cars. They sing and dance and climb trees. This is a rollicking riot of canine chicanery. Like a pop-up book that comes to life - and never stops.
Gifford Family Theatre proudly presents this high-energy version of the beloved children’s story, wild, whimsical and sure to delight family and school audiences alike.
Go, Dog. Go!was first commissioned and produced by Seattle Children’s Theatre, Seattle, WA. It is produced by special arrangement with Plays for Young Audiences, a partnership of Seattle Children’s Theatre and Children’s Theatre Company—Minneapolis.
