With one preview July 12, Dog Act opens July 13 and runs through July 29 at Main Street Theater – Rice Village, 2540 Times Blvd. Performances are on Thursdays at 7:30pm, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 3pm.

A post-apocalyptic vaudeville comedy, Dog Act follows Zetta Stone, a traveling performer, and her companion Dog (a young man undergoing a voluntary species demotion) as they walk through the wilderness of the former U.S.A., heading toward a gig in China, if only they can find it… Recommended for mature audiences due to profanity, violence, and adult situations.
Main Street Theater produced Ms. Adams' play Or, last season.
Post-show Discussion with the Artists
Following the performance on Sunday, July 15, there will be a discussion with director Andrew Ruthven and the cast.
