“ I had the privilege of acting in this play and we had raves from our audiences. This play is so fun and really family friendly. A good example of how crazy relationships can still teach us something and turn out alright in the end. ”

“ A sweet, charming romp that succeeds on the basis of witty character humor underlying a richly realized conceit. The human story is compelling, but it's the dynamic between the two dogs that really pushes "All Bark, No Bite" over the top: Eugene's aloof intellectualism is consistently hilarious (and reminds me more than a little of my own dog) while Bella perfectly encapsulates the flighty charm of the younger canine set. My only disappointment is in knowing what the schtick is before reading, and thus not getting the chance to figure out Eugene's identity for myself. ”

“ When a Zoom meeting is hosted by someone in Nashville, and the author's outside of Boston and you've got cast members in Seoul and points between - You're hosting a virtual reading in the face of Covid-19! And this delightful play delivers laughs and love - endearing humans aplenty - and DOGS. Talking dogs. Clever, creative, cute-as-a-button DOGS. I am 15/15 here for this play, and so grateful for the distraction. An entertaining romp, animated with effervescence. Pure fun. ”

“
It’s a delectable conceit and one that works so beautifully, you’ll be applauding at just how a once “random idea” has led to this utterly ingenious, endearing, uproariously funny, slyly written, giddy, witty and impeccably acted gem of a comedy.

Hold on to your seats, you’re in for a delightful surprise. One so fresh and so strikingly original you’ll have to restrain yourself from jumping up and enthusiastically clapping with glee. This modern romantic play is so intelligently written that the audience effortlessly buys into the winsome central conceit.
