A play set in a park on the Noosa River where six dogs meet daily to discuss their lives, loves and social media status.
There is a beautiful moral that dogs teach us everyday if only we listen.
Meet Gussy, played by Neil Nash, the Golden Retriever who practices Buddhism and is determined to win the heart of Honey, a botoxed Insta-star with 50,000 followers. Neil played the Toad in the award winning 2018 play The Rogue Toad which was performed on the Noosa Ferry.
Ali Lambole plays Missy, an anxious little whippet who longs for a life of security with her best friend. Ali has won awards for acting, play writing and production, she is a Clown Doctor with the Humour Foundation and is a highly sought after actress here on the coast and in Brisbane.
Glen Miller plays Jock, the friendly Bull Mastiff, who’s dopey demeanour does not attract the ladies. He is also an award winning actor and is a very popular actor at Noosa Arts Theatre.
Zoe Griffen, who’s most recent credits included her role as Felicity in Noosa Art Theatres Daylights Saving, plays Honey the self obsessed Pooch-fluencer from Instagram who refuses to connect the way dogs do.
Roscoe, played by Curtis Bock, is a Jack Russell who can’t control his anger and, Lily, played by the playwright, Tania Nash is an elderly Labrador who’s old way of life has long gone.
Is Insta-fame all its cracked up to be? Is botox the answer to the beauty ideal? Will Gussy get his authentic connection?
Join us for an afternoon of theatre by the river, bring a picnic and chuckle the afternoon away.
Pooch park is supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund a partnership between the Queensland Government and Noosa Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
The play will run at 2pm on 8 and 15 May in Chaplin Park, Mill Street Noosaville. Tickets are $15. For more information visit www.anywhere.is/poochpark
