    I was cast as Maggie for a directing project at my school. The play is sweet, lighthearted, hilarious, and heartbreaking. It was such a joy to play this character and live in this scene. I would highly recommend this short play because the of way it discusses death - charming, yet so very deep.

    Hilarious and heartbreaking. Dagney Kerr successfully writes about two dogs navigating their friendship at the end of one's life. The characters are well-drawn and real, the dialogue is fresh, witty and just beautiful.

1 F-16-late 20's. A sweet, funny, charming, and slightly spastic 3-year-old Maltese-Poodle mix. A big ball of love. A sensitive soul.
1 M-late late 40's-70's. A stoic, tough, worn down 13-year-old German Shepherd. Wise. Brave. A witty, graceful, generous spirit full of gravitas.
