And in case you missed it! It's the final weekend of Jim the Wonder Dog and other Pawsitive Tails! It's a musical about dogs that helped change history featuring senior dogs from area shelters and actors of all abilities. This is a partnership with Martin City Melodrama, Englewood Arts and Shep's Place. I spoke with the Martin City Melodrama Founder on the special bond between the actors and the senior dogs.
"The connection between these rescue dogs who have been through so much as well as uniquely abled folks and actors who have to deal with so much everyday and then get an opportuntiy to be laughed with instead of at, or clap for or respected on stage with a theatrical opportunity , that means the world to me," Beechwood said.
You can catch the shows Saturday at 7:30 p.m. And Sunday at 3:30 p.m. And they feature dogs up for adoption after every show! Admission is $15, and one free slice of Little Caesar's Pizza is included with the ticket purchase!
You can reserve your tickets at englewoodarts.art/experience and just look for Jim the Wonderdog.
That's a look at your Weekend Fun. Be safe!
