Dogtown: the Musical is based on the true story of Trevor the dog, whose plight divided the community and got international attention. The action follows Trevor from his neglectful, abusive owner, his rescue by Sara, the only one who truly understands him, his rehab at the Mae B. Shur animal shelter, his arrest, his time on death row, his triumph in Yukon Supreme Court, to his tragic end. The play explores the line between people and animals while taking a satirical look at the human/dog relationship.

Length: 90 minutes, plus an intermission to mingle and eat snacks (120min total)
