Synopsis
A Dog Story is a charming new musical comedy about Roland, a career-driven lawyer, who thinks he must be married to get the partnership he desperately wants.
So he follows the advice of his best buddy, Guy, and gets a puppy named Cupid as a chick magnet for his Hamptons vacation.
The plan works — he's thrilled when Cupid leads him to beautiful businesswoman Blair...not so thrilled when Cupid leads him to Miranda, a dog trainer who is patient with puppies but not their owners.
But through first dates, angry tangos, and a sudden disappearance, Roland ends up discovering there's more to life when you "get a dog!"
Note: Cupid is mimed by the actors throughout the show!
