She played Crab the dog in two gentlemen of verona a.k.a. The One With The Dog and she did an amazing job bc all the dog in that play needs to do is hang out and have the characters kind of talk about how awful it is. So no matter what the dog does it is funny. The nights when she got real distracted and kept trying to wander off and do other stuff it was funny and the nights where she just stood there looking pleased to be the center of attention it was also funny. At that point she was pretty elderly too so it was like just… very funny. If you ever have a chance to have your dog be in shakespeare I recommend it highly
I think training dogs to act would be amazing because my dog was in a play once and it was like the best possible capacity to be involved in theater… I just got to hang out backstage with the dog and hand her off to the actor when she was needed on stage and I always got the loudest applause during curtain call even though no one knew who the fuck i was, because I was holding. The Dog.
