A new play written by Kara Emily Krantz and directed by Karen Kolar, the story is about Charlotte and Eugene who live a quiet, no-nonsense lifestyle, and Robert and Bella who are boisterous, messy and ridiculously in love. Relationships are almost always worth exploring, and if we’re willing to be vulnerable, can fill up the empty or wounded spaces in our hearts. And if that doesn’t work? Well, get a dog.

“All Bark, No Bite” is an exploration of the concept of how often we treat our four-legged companions as though they are another human being,” playwright Krantz said. “The play is absurd and ridiculous, but it has a beating, tender heart. I hope the audiences laugh ... and allow themselves to just have a good time ... I also hope audiences go home and hug their pets ... tight enough to feel immense gratitude for the unconditional love they give to us.”
