From: Photo Flash: Kristen Palmer's THE STRAY DOG

Following the sold out performances and overflow crowds at its first four Cino Nights presentations, Rising Phoenix Rep continued the series with a packed house on January 23rd with Kristen Palmer's THE STRAY DOG, described as 'a play obsessed with the great Russian poet Anna Akhmatova and dedicated to any who dare endure in the folly and the imperative that is art. Songs will be sung. Poems read. Dreams dashed. Vodka drunk. These are dangerous times.'
