Dog Park

Synopsis:
Dog Park takes place in an Upper West Side dog park that is being closed due to an evil real estate tycoon's commercialization project. This colorful array of dog owners that range from an out-of-work opera-singing, Maltese owner to a gay Frenchie-owning couple not only fight back to ensure their dogs have a place to run and play but also are advocates for green space. This play spoofs iconic figures and is filled with madcap physical comedy. It also demonstrates useful tactics that communities use to fight for their cause: petitions, "poop" protests, dog kidnappings and as well as an all night stakeout along the vein of "Occupy Dog Park".
