Wise old dogs

Anywhere Theatre took anthropomorphising to art over the weekend with their Pooch Park.

People playing dogs playing people was an entertaining way to laugh at the way dogs and people act and interact.

Presented by Snap Crackle Theatre & Co the play revolved around the discussions of several dog characters including Missy the whippet frightened of everything but sweet natured and wise.

“I’ve never known no fear,” poor Missy tells us.

Her absolute opposite was the very confident labradoodle, Honey McKenzie with her botoxed face, pouty lips and 50,000 Instagram followers.

Honey’s perfect life fell apart, however, when her phone went missing thanks to the antics of loveable Buddhist retriever Gussy.

There were plenty of take home messages from the human dogs and a few real dogs had a few woofs of their own to contribute.

Pooch Park will be on again this Saturday 15 May in Chaplin Park, Noosaville at 2pm and for other Anywhere Theatre events go to www.visitnoosa.com.au
