The Tike-Mutt Story

In Oct 1932, at various locations throughout New York City, we meet the Tikes (kids) and the Mutts (pups), two warring factions, who are arguing over turf. They decide to square off at a dance at Mister Tenardime’s Stop Pop Hop. As new friendships form between the Mutts and the Tikes, can the two groups work together, with the help of the Matron and Eleanor Roosevelt, to outsmart the NYC Animal Control, LeHound, who has a liberal definition of “animals”? This show twists familiar stories (West Side Story, Les Miserables, Newsies, Annie, 101 Dalmatians, Rudolph, and Cinderella). This show was originally conceived in 2022 for Not Just Dance, Chantilly, VA.
