How many weekend activities do you share with your dog? If you’re anything like me, the answer is “nearly all of them, because he's awesome.” I’ve brought my pup on numerous hikes on the Front Range—always a fun adventure for us both. He also comes to work with me, and because I work at Local Theater Company, he’s had the opportunity to take in a few world premiere plays and musicals. Long story short—he loved them!
His first show was Discount Ghost Stories at Trident Bookseller and Cafe in 2019. He came to rehearsal and I couldn’t get him to leave. The music, melodies, and lights caught his attention and I just knew—he’d been bitten by the theater bug. He quickly cozied up to composer and lyricist Alexander Sage Oyen and stayed for that evening's performance. He rated the show “four paws up” (He has great taste).
Next weekend is Spring Lab in Boulder, and although my pup pal won’t be able to take in the new play readings at The Dairy Arts Center, he plans to join the Local team for a morning hike and participate in a few of the outdoor activities planned around Local Lab. I’m so lucky―he’s everyone’s best friend, a theater lover, and my Colorado adventure buddy: ride or die!
