The Dog Dies is a brand-new musical comedy that honours the highs and lows of animal companionship.  Created by comedian and veterinarian Hannah MacKellar, The Dog Dies follows the relationship between Human and her rescue dog, Steve Buscemi, from adoption to euthanasia.  Mixing comedy songs with verbatim text from Hannah’s lived experience as a veterinarian, The Dog Dies is a heartaching and sidesplitting piece that mourns the losses of our furry friends and celebrates the special place they hold in our lives.

Directed by Lisa Anne Ross and featuring Hannah McKellar, Naomi McGowan, and Acasha Knowles.
