Sit, Stay for U.S. Premiere of Thinking Cap Theatre’s hot dog at NSU
May 15–June 1
Want to go out? Catch hot dog, the latest production from Thinking Cap Theatre, the guest resident theatre of NSU. The play makes its U.S. premiere right here on campus, its cast includes faculty member Mark Duncan, M.F.A., associate professor and assistant director of the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences, and the production also features lighting design by Daniel Gelbmann, M.F.A., assistant professor at the college.
Written by Sarah Kosar and directed by Nicole Stodard, hot dog is a dark, comedic tale about giving and receiving care. Dog lives next door to her daughter Maryanne and son-in-law Michael. When Maryanne tires of caring for the feisty and stubborn Dog, she fetches her sister Carol for help. But Dog ends up making many bones about this decision. Kosar’s hot dog is an absurdist play, akin to the work of playwrights such as Edward Albee and Samuel Beckett.
