How fun!
Has your dog longed to put their paws upon the stage? Do their ears perk up when they hear an overture? Do they get excited when they see a curtain rise? Does your puppy want to run in the big footsteps of icons like Lassie, Toto, and Benji? This is the opportunity for them to fulfill their furry dreams.
The Kalamazoo Civic Theatre is currently looking for a canine to portray “Sandy:” that loveable, big-hearted protector, and friend of Annie for our holiday musical, Annie.
We are looking for a sandy, gold or light brown dog, medium sized (build and height), and well trained/behaved. He/she must not be easily startled and be good with children and adults. The dog will be around bright lights, large numbers of people, and possible atmospherics like water-based haze, fog or live flame. They should also be able to walk across a stage off leash (this is not a must but would be preferred). “Sandy” will not need to attend all general rehearsals but must attend all tech rehearsals and performances. Rehearsal dates: October 13 -- November 26. Actual days “Sandy” will need to be at general rehearsal are still to be determined. Tech and Performance dates: November 30—December 21. As a cast member “Sandy” must be present for these dates.
Please contact Mike Artis, Director of Volunteers, at 269-548-3031 or email [email protected] for more information or to set up and audition for your dog. We look forward to seeing you and your dog.
