Mainstage Theater to Stage DOG ACT
by Marissa Tomeo - Mar 4, 2022
Main Street Theater (MST) is bringing back the post-apocalyptic vaudevillesque comedy Dog Act by Liz Duffy Adams. “What Liz [Duffy Adams] does with language is so much fun in terms of the way she re-makes it and so re-imagines the world,” says director Andrew Ruthven. “It’s unlike any play I’ve ever directed. The importance of language, the importance of story-telling, the importance of human connection in this post-apocalyptic world, combined with the genuine absurdity of the world she’s created – it’s just wild to explore.” MST first produced Dog Act in 2012.
