WOOF! The Road Show
A script that keeps changing, and love that keeps threatening to cross from on stage to back stage, and lots of silly jokes. Woof! is a mini-musical about dogs, pancakes, and just trying to get some.
Cast: Jerry Rabushka as Jon; Zach Jett as Adam
Don't you just hate it when you're trying to make out and there's a dog panting at your feet? Woof!
Adam and Jon are touring a show. A gay romance, come to think, that Adam wrote without realizing he'd have to deal with an acting partner who keeps trying to make it happen in real life. If that's not bad enough... a group of frustrated writers (not to mention the Wednesday Mah Jongg club) keep workshopping the play and our poor actors never know what's in the script from one show to the next.
Oh, and then there's... Woody. You know, that "hot" stage hand who took up a career in theater so he could sleep with touring actors. He's had his way with Jon and Adam... so they like each other to think. Poor Woody, he meets his demise more often than Kenny in South Park. What happens when he goes to an Annie cast party? It's too scary to mention.
Can they ever transfer the onstage love to back stage... even if there's a clause in the contract that forbids it? It's an unusual play with dry humor, a bit of a vaudeville style, and some great fun.
FIVE GREAT SONGS!
Never Say I Love You
"... I string along the dream, it makes him hard, it keeps him easy....!"
Sometimes
"Love can't grow on an earth
scorched with lies, loss, and tears from the past... it's true..."
Dream Dream Dream
"I thought it through
And I want it more than I wanted to...
now I dream dream of you..."
Fake It
"I never pay for dinner, and I don't give back in sex..."
Woof!
"Give good service and it might get you your way..."
From a patron: "It was the coolest thing I've done in a while!"
