I spoke with Ms Gray about how OKC Broadway came to be, what audiences can expect in the near and long-term future, and how she sees OKC Broadway fitting into the arts community here in Oklahoma City.

Newly released two-part children's book series is a heartwarming introduction to animal advocacy. 'A New Home for Dominick' and 'A New Family for Dominick' are charming 30-page picture books that follow the rescue and subsequent adoption of Dominick the donkey. Both are based on actual animals, humans, and events at RVR Horse Rescue, in Riverview, Florida. Proceeds from each purchase benefit the nonprofit rescue.
The fresh and sweet stories are sure to leave both adults and children cheering for a sweet little donkey.
The books have proven impactful both as bedtime stories and within the classroom, as unique and meaningful lessons for young students (Grades pre-K thru 2 recommended). Not only do the fresh and sweet stories pique and hold the students' interest, but a classroom project challenges many key learning aspects, such as critical thinking, writing, communication, and creative expression through art.
A New Home for Dominick:
Dominick is scared and confused when he arrives at RVR Horse Rescue. The only humans he ever knew were mean to him. An unlikely friend, Charity the old horse, tries to convince Dominick that RVR Horse Rescue is full of love for all the animals. Can Dominick learn to trust the humans in his new home? Will he ever find the happiness he deserves? (Of course!)
A New Family for Dominick:
Dominick and Charity had both been saved by the wonderful people of RVR Horse Rescue. The donkey and old horse quickly became inseparable best buddies - that is, until Charity was adopted and moved away with her new family. Poor Dominick was sad and lonely without his friend. None of the other animals and nice people could take the place of Charity. Will Dominick be able to make new friends and be happy again? Could he ever get a new family of his own? (Yes!)
Softcover books are available on Amazon.com
About Shirley Alarie:

As an author and RVR Horse Rescue volunteer, Shirley wrote the adult novel, A Healing Haven - Saving Horses and Humans at RVR Horse Rescue, followed by her Dominick the Donkey series. The Dominick series is part of RVR's children's outreach expansion.

South Coast Repertory's latest offering, MR. WOLF---now on stage in Costa Mesa through May 3---is a high-quality presentation of an intriguingly audacious if not quite fully-gestated new world premiere play from Pulitzer Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph, the playwright behind the celebrated BENGAL TIGER AT THE BAGHDAD ZOO. In Mr. Joseph's enticing new drama, the play employs a ripped-from-the-headlines plot that feels more like a stand-alone episode of any given TV procedural drama, which, unfortunately, by their very nature leaves very little room for real character development, yet provides enough juicy (and at times soapy) melodrama to pique an interested audience.
