(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Lori E. Parquet, Becky Byers, Liz Douglas) Will Fulton’s review for nytheatre.com is out.

(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Lori E. Parquet, Chris Wight) Aaron Riccio’s review over at That Sounds Cool is out!

(Photo: Isaiah Tanenabum. Pictured: Liz Douglas, Becky Byers) Our first review is out! Not a moment too soon, as our all-too-short run is nearing its midway point at frightening speed.

(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Lori E. Parquet, Chris Wight) This is an open thread for our community of artists and audience to respond to Dog Act. We have tried this for both The Lesser Seductions of History and Jacob’s House, and the comments were very insightful. When you see the show, please take a moment…
