**********
SYNOPSIS: A script that keeps changing, and love that keeps threatening to
cross from on stage to back stage, and lots of silly jokes. Woof! is a
mini-musical about dogs, pancakes, and just trying to get some.
Don't you just hate it when you're trying to make out and there's a dog
panting at your feet? Woof!
Adam and Jon are touring a show. A gay romance, come to think, that Adam
wrote without realizing he'd have to deal with an acting partner who keeps
trying to make it happen in real life. If that's not bad enough... a group of
frustrated writers (not to mention the Wednesday Mah Jongg club) keep
workshopping the play and our poor actors never know what's in the script from one show
to the next.
Oh, and then there's... Woody. You know, that "hot" stage hand who took up a
career in theater so he could sleep with touring actors. He's had his way
with Jon and Adam... so they like each other to think. Poor Woody, he meets his
demise more often than Kenny in South Park. What happens when he goes to an
Annie cast party? It's too scary to mention.
Can they ever transfer the onstage love to back stage... even if there's a
clause in the contract that forbids it? It's an unusual play with dry humor, a
bit of a vaudeville style, and some great fun.

dog collar," says critic Tamitra Williford, KDHX Radio, St. Louis.
