"Jim the Wonder Dog and other Pawsitive Tails"
And in case you missed it, it's the final weekend of "Jim the Wonder Dog and other Pawsitive Tail."
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 Martin City Melodrama Founder Jeanne Beechwood 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 every day, 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 on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 3:30 p.m. They feature dogs up for adoption after every show!
Admission is $15, and one free slice of Little Caesars Pizza is included with the ticket purchase!
You can reserve your tickets here.
That's a look at your Weekend Fun. Be safe!
