Something has gone very wrong in the world of pet health and wellness. We owe it to our pets to fix it.
Thank you for your interest in Dog Eat Dog and the critical issues addressed in this new short play. If you share our concern for the well-being of pets, vets, the pet care industry, and pet parents, we welcome you to join our community of advocacy!
Dog Eat Dog is a one (1) hour play performed with minimal sets and costumes, suitable for a variety of performance settings. The dynamic cast of three portrays multiple roles throughout the funny and powerful indictment of the cash-driven corporate takeover of America’s pet care community – especially in the areas of food and medical care. The performance is followed by breakout audience discussions and/or remarks from guest experts.
Dog Eat Dog was commissioned by pet advocate Carrie Hyde and co-written and directed by Marco Benassi and Liesel Reinhart.
A staged reading of the work was held in Tustin, CA in June 2024, followed by a preview performance in Las Vegas on August 15, 2024, with fantastic reviews from the audience.
