←Recommendations of Waiting for Roger

01/23/2026 - Part fantasy and part Waiting for Godot, Waiting for Roger is a winning ten minute comedy piece. The canine characters capture your heart, the jokes make you laugh, and the concept keeps you engaged from beginning to end. Would love to see this staged to see what a cast and director bring to it. Great work!

"Waiting for Roger" is a real treat! Written from the perspective of three canine friends waiting at a bar, this comedy brings us into a fun, funny and imaginative world beautifully created by Lynn Millar.

I was so well entertained by these three canine characters that I didn’t care if Roger showed up. This is a clever exploration of what dogs might be thinking if we could only hear them. Fireworks? Loud and scary. Eating and drinking? More, please. What was I talking about? I got distracted and forgot. Best line: “I think I ate my umbrella.” Costume three actors in some zany dog accessories and have fun with this one.

"Waiting for Roger" is a tail-waggingly funny play that unleashes laughter with its quirky canine cast. Monique's paws-itively elegant flair, Daisy's fetching optimism, and Boomer's howling blues make for a barking good time. It's a fur-filled frolic through the ruff life of pets that's simply paw-some! Nice work Lynn Millar.

“Waiting for Roger” by Lynn Millar is a fun little gem where three dogs are hanging out in a bar, waiting for their friend Roger who they hope will save them from “National Noise Day.” Does he come and save them? Read and find out. :)

"Waiting for Roger" is a relatable and humorous piece about a group of (dog) friends trying to figure out how to survive in a world that wasn't built for them.

Three dogs in a bar doing what dogs do. Having drinks, chowing down, and discussing their fear of upcoming fireworks. Their friend, Roger, could probably help, but like Godot, he’s a no-show. There is, of course, a strong visual element to this charming play, and it’s fun to imagine all the possibilities for costumes and stage business as actors assume these roles. WAITING FOR ROGER is sure to be a festival favorite.

Such a cute little play. This author beautifully captures three dogs with their own personalities, troubles, and fears. It's surreal and fun, and I'd love to see this staged.

Three very distinctly drawn and amusing dogs wait for the friend who is going to save them from fireworks.
Ah but Roger can't come today. He says he'll come tomorrow. But will he? Will Roger ever come?
