No Dogs Allowed!
A Delightful Musical Celebrating Diversity
Sometimes the unexpected is even more fun than the best-laid plans. Iris, her family, and dog set out for a fun day at the Enchanted State Park. When they finally arrive, they see a NO DOGS ALLOWED sign. What to do? Iris’s family’s make-do attitude saves the day. In the end, and the dog has had the best time of all — the park had been brought to him.
Sesame Street’s Sonia Manzano’s book and Stephen Lawrence’s music provides an ocean of humor, a warm, close-knit Puerto Rican family who refuses to let things get in their way! Filled with laughter, love and heart, this show is sure to delight any audience.
