January 20-February 22, 2026
Best enjoyed by Younger Audiences!
P.D. Eastman’s classic book lands onstage with roller-skating, bike-riding, and scoot-scootering dogs! Over here a dog plays baseball; over there a dog prances about in a funny hat; everywhere dogs swim underwater, drive race cars to fiestas en los árboles, and speak—in both Spanish and English! Soon, you’ll be singing along with this bilingual spectacle that makes no sense (and TOTAL sense), all at the same time!
Adapted for the Stage by Allison Gregory & Steven Dietz
Directed by Juliette Carrillo
