Verge Theater is thrilled to present the edgy drama, My Barking Dog, from acclaimed playwright Eric Coble at the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture. Performances begin March 15th and run through March 30th. Friday and Saturday shows begin at 7pm, with a pair of 3pm Sunday matinees to follow the first two weekends. An additional Thursday performance on March 28th will begin at 7pm.
Two lonely people’s lives are pushed suddenly into the unforeseen when a starving coyote shows up at their apartment building. My Barking Dog is a truly unpredictable, gripping exploration of isolated urban lifestyles and a daring lament for the destruction of nature by man-made boundaries.
“My Barking Dog… shocks and surprises, and in a most brilliant and entertaining way… poetic, funny, gripping and stomach-churning, and sometimes all these things together.” – LA Weekly
“…smart, witty, theatre of absurd-esque… a streamlined, no-fat depiction of two lonely souls possibly finding their ultimate purpose in life.” – BroadwayWorld
The local production is directed by LX Miller and stars Denise Hergett and Max Schneider. Suitable for ages 16+. Contains disturbing images, some language and sexual references. No animals were harmed.
