Go, Dog. Go! Comes To The Rose 10/22-11/7

Go by scooter, by bike; go by foot, run, skip or hike..." As long as you get to The Rose for Go, Dog. Go!

October 22 through November 7, you won't be disappointed. The stage adaptation of the P.D. Eastman's book has been produced for excited audiences in theaters across the country since The Rose adapted it forthe stage nearly 10 years ago and Omaha audiences young and young at heart are sure to be pleased.

Tickets are already selling fast in anticipation of this fun, interactive production!The pups in Go, Dog. Go! use color and movement to explore life's most valuable lessons and communicate the idea that people can do anything they set their minds to."After seeing Go, Dog. Go!, young people will walk away with the understanding that "go" is a very powerful word," said director Fran Sillau.

"The adaptation of the script is so popular (and has been produced intheaters across the country) because it maintains the spirit of the book itself - illustrating that the possibilities for young people are endless."Sillau has assembled a talented cast that infuses life and energy into P.D. Eastman's colorful words and gives audiences what they are expecting and more. The cast will be cheering for the audience to participate and make the show fun for everyone!Children are encouraged to bring their copies of the book from home to the show. Actors will pause periodi-cally to let the audience know what page they are on and let families follow along.

The Rose Guild will be selling the book (with all proceeds benefiting The Rose) in the lobby prior to the start of each production.Additionally, the book may be purchased in advance at The Bookworm (in Countryside Village) for 20% off with a Rose membership card. While bringing or purchasing the book is encouraged and will enhance theexperience, it is certainly not essential for show enjoyment.Each child will receive a temporary puppy tattoo and an autograph card (featuring a dog biscuit recipe that is a favorite of the show characters!) to have signed by the cast after the performance. Attendees are alsoencouraged post photos of their own pups on The Rose Theater Facebook page.
