BIGFOOT RIPPED MY DOG IN HALF I SAW IT to Open at SoHo Playhouse

Xhloe Rice and Natasha Roland's Bigfoot Ripped My Dog In Half I Saw It, a new absurdist production exploring conspiracy, misdirection, and mass distraction in a 1990s Appalachian town, is coming to SoHo Playhouse.

Featuring a nine-foot puppet, the show is written, performed, and co-directed by Xhloe Rice and Natasha Roland, with additional direction by Tom Costello. Performances will run from November 28, 2026, through January 3, 2027, at SoHo Playhouse's Main Stage, with an official opening night set for Wednesday, December 2, at 7 p.m.

Dissecting how local paranoia is manufactured and the intoxicating pull of conspiracy culture, quadruple Fringe First Award winners Xhloe and Natasha are set to return to SoHo Playhouse with their brand-new show following its sell-out run at Edinburgh Fringe and Soho Theatre London. Delving into the dark side of American mythos and the theater of mass distraction, a pair of teenagers fake Bigfoot sightings to pass the time in a flood-ravaged, 1990s Appalachian town. But when a neighbour's dog is found torn to pieces, the joke curdles into a dangerous paranoia and the community zeroes in on conspiracy theories – in the meantime, the water keeps rising. As the community fractures under the weight of superstition and a looming water crisis, the teenagers must confront what might actually be terrorizing their community. Blending precise choreography, clowning, and a nine-foot puppet created and operated by the duo, Xhloe and Natasha's Bigfoot Ripped My Dog In Half I Saw It explores how easily we fall victim to misdirection. The Brechtian two-hander is an international production co-produced by Soho Theatre and SoHo Playhouse and provides a quirky, high-quality alternative theatrical experience for the jam-packed Christmas season.
