Why Dogs Don't Talk presented by First Folio Theatre at Online Stream

Around The Town Chicago - Somewhat Recommended

"...The world-premiere performance of “Why Dogs Don’t Talk” reminds me of the days when I took improv courses, and we were directed to play characters in a skit. “Okay, now one of you play a dog and the other its master,” the instructor might have shouted. In this case, Dean Monti’s short story has been adapted by David Rice into a 16-minute video, directed by Morgan Manasa, with Mike Alongi responsible for the editing and video production."

Chicago Theatre Review - Recommended

"...Nicely directed by Morgan Manasa, the streamed mini performance piece features the always magnetic and incredibly talented Landree Fleming as Hubert and August Forman as the ever-perplexed Mel. Both actors do a terrific job in their individual roles, with Ms. Fleming especially (pardon the pun) fetching as the coltish canine companion. The video production and editing of this piece is nicely accomplished by Mike Alongi and Christopher Kriz provides the show's original music and sound design. While First Folio is scheduled to return in October to live, full productions, this short playlet offers a tasty appetizer to sample until theatre returns to the way we remember."
