Aimed at adults who grew up on Saturday morning cartoons, this semi-improvised play is both a parody of and homage to animated favorites of decades past. In Spooky Dog, a group of teen sleuths -- including a talking dog -- track down a missing celebrity suggested by the audience. And they do so with campy, irreverent humor and original songs.

Flying saucers, backstabbing bitches, muscle hunks and men in pumps populate this insane comedy send-off. It's a scorching summer in 1957 and something strange is happening in the swamps of Lizard Lick, Florida. With rumors of missing people and giant spaceships running rampant, star reporter Mattie Van Buren races down in search of her next Pulitzer with her boozehound ex-husband in tow and her arch-enemy hot on her heels to scoop her story. An off-Broadway favorite, Devil Boys From Beyond by Buddy was written by Buddy Thomas and Kenneth Elliott and won 2008 FringeNYC Overall Excellence Award for Outstanding Play. Learn More

It was a fun short show in a small personal theater. If you are grew up on Scooby Doo then this is a great comedy for you.

I've been going to Landless productions for about 4 years and they do not disappoint. Original, funny, polished, professional, this group does so much with so little. The production was hilarious--I never watched Scooby Do but my friend said the cast's characterizations were spot on. The venue is great, the audience participation fun--it was more entertaining and less costly than going to a movie.

Description

<p>Spooky Dog is not the Saturday morning cartoon you remember... or is it?</p> <p>The Landless Theatre Company brings Spooky Dog and the Teen-Age Gang Mysteries to District of Columbia Arts Center.  The audience participation and improv based play is written by Eric Pliner and Amy Rhodes. The production is directed by Producing Artistic Director Andrew Baughman and stars the incomparable Nick Greek (I Like Nuts! The Musical, Capital Fringe Festival 2008) as the title dog.</p> <p>Spooky Dog & the Teen-Age Gang Mysteries is an irreverent parody of Saturday morning cartoons – for adults only. Missing from a starring performance at a creepy county fair, a pop culture icon (suggested by the audience) can only be located by this familiar gang of teen sleuths: a butch, blond frat boy, an even more butch brainy gal with a trusty flashlight, a hot-to-trot diva in a miniskirt, a spaced-out hippie, and a talking dog. On a campy and comical quest to find their missing friend, they’ll face the ghost of a dead country singer, a not-so-psychic fortune teller, and the sinister couple who run the fairground.</p> <p>Even more frighteningly, the Teen-Age Mystery Gang will also confront their own burgeoning sexual desires, tasty dog treats with unexpected side effects, and a surprise penchant for busting a move.</p> <p>“We really want to stress that this is not a play for children,” said director Baughman. “It’s for immature adults who always wondered what was really going on between He-Man and Man-At-Arms, and why Smurfette was the only girl in the whole village.”</p> <p>Spooky Dog uncovers hilarious, hidden subtext with razor-sharp wit and affectionate homage. The production also features original songs by Baughman and Jen Tonon, the creative team behind Landless fringe festival hits Frozty the Abominable Snowman and Carrie Potter at The Half-Blood Prom, with choreography by Karissa Swanigan(Walmartopia, President Harding Is A Rock Star).</p> <p>The cast includes Landless regulars Matt Baughman (Guternberg! The Musical!, Walmartopia) and Josh Speerstra (Diamond Dead, President Harding Is A Rock Star) as metro-sexual “Ted” and the ravenous “Scraggly.” Nick Greek, who recently starred as the nut-obsessed “Horatio” in the acclaimed I Like Nuts The Musical at the 2008 Capital Fringe Festival, leads the cast as the kooky canine.  “Rou’ll rever ree Raturay Rorning Rartoons the rame ray again!” said Greek. [He was in character at the time.] </p>
