This a performance piece about a woman and her obsession with dogs/dog shows/dog people. It was humorous but probably ran a bit too long.Written on Mar 03 2011

I really didn't understand the point of this production. I am a performer and to see this type of thing categorized as "Theater" did upset me a little bit. It was not entertaining in the least, and I couldn't understand what it was about. Basically this show was a compilation of pointless stories and anecdotes that were not stupid enough to be ignored and not smart enough to mean anything. It was neither thought provoking nor inspiring. I would definitely categorize this production as one of the worst shows I have ever wasted my time seeing.Written on Feb 21 2011

Definitely was not as good as some of the performances I have seen at the Marsh in the past. You could tell she wasn't used to performing or comedy. I found myself drifting off a lot and not paying attention to what she was saying. I don't regret having seen it myself, but I wouldn't recommend it to others.Written on Feb 07 2011

Description
A new solo show written and performed by 2010 Guggenheim recipent Holly Hughes and directed by Dan Hurlin. A blend of autobiography, animal behavior and bald faced lies, Dog and Pony is a poetic/comic meditation on the midlife crisis in the key of canine by the woman who drove Jesse Helms nuts. Or nuttier. After several years as a professional lesbian, Hughes gives up preaching to the perverted and takes a real job at a prestigious university, acquiring a small pack of dogs in the process. She discovers that as we age, the thin membrane between the animal and the human dissolves entirely. Time doesn’t heal or heel, it brings new questions: “What is the sound of one lesbian clapping?”
