09.20.24 - Just finished listening to this on the Gather By the Ghost Light podcast and what a hoot it was. As someone who constantly gives voice to my own dog, I was totally down with the voices of the character mutts in this delightful play by Kara Emily Krantz. As I listened I was able to picture the dogs individual body languages and behaviors. The story is fun, and silly just the way dogs can be. I loved it.

This is a fun short play where humans and dogs spend time in a park.... sounds familiar? Just like my last dog, Jessie's dog is a moody mut, he doesn't want to make friends with the other dogs, besides, he has his human to care for.
A fun short, bought to life by the brilliant Gather by the Ghost Light crew.

Kara Emily Krantz gives us such a lovely surprise with Park & Play. The canine characters each have their own unique voice and physicality; and it's remarkably relatable - how many times have we been open to new experiences with new people? How often do we close ourselves off from the possibility of new friendships? This short play gives me faith in humanity. I also highly recommend listening to the work on Gather by the Ghost Light.
