CLOSBC's BARK!, THE MUSICAL Closes Feb. 28

Civic Light Opera of South Bay Cities and Executive Producer James A. Blackman, III proudly presents a full scale production with orchestra of BARK! THE MUSICAL! conceived by David TRoy Francis, with book & lyrics Mark Winkler and Gavin Geoffrey Dillard, lyrics by Robert Schrock, and music by David TRoy Francis. The show runs through Feb. 28 at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center. 

The production will be directed by CLO's Artistic Director Stephanie A. Coltrin, with Daniel Gary Busby as Musical Director and Karl Warden as Choreographer.

The BARK! cast includes: Harrison White as King, Dane Biren as Rocks, Janet Krupin as Chanel, Justin Michael Wilcox as Sam, Shanna Marie Palmer as Boo and Jessica Gisin as Golde.

BARK! follows six canine characters for one day at Deena's Doggie Daycare. From the little puppy who yearns to bark like a real dog, to the opera singing poodle and the street mutt who raps - this musical possesses the huge heart and the playful joyfulness present in man's truest friends. The entire show is presented from a dog's point of view. Young and old, men and women, children of all ages and the young at heart all find an emotional connection with BARK! Howlingly funny, fast-paced and sometimes poignant, BARK! is the new must see American musical. If you love your dog, you will love BARK!
