And it’s about time! This funny, frisky, kooky and colorful show was a hit<br />
in 2008 highlighting the antics of a talented cast, including NWCT artist in<br />
residence John Ellingson. And as he’ll tell you, Go, Dog. Go! is one of NWCT’s<br />
most requested titles of all time. “Kids would stop me all the time,” says John. “In<br />
the mall, on the street, in coff ee shops, at the zoo, at the children’s museum, and<br />
they all asked the same thing: ‘Are you the dog from that show? When will you do<br />
it again?’” Their parents wanted to know, too, and with so many fans, it was just<br />
a matter of time before these crooning canines dog-paddled their way back on<br />
to the NWCT stage. Red dogs, green dogs, big dogs, small dogs; they’re all here<br />
with some NEW tricks, proving once again that children and adults alike fi nd<br />
‘something new and remarkable’ in P.D. Eastman’s classic story. We’ve enjoyed the<br />
show even more this time around, and we hope you do, too!<br />
Woof!<br />
For Our Young Audience Members<br />
The audience is a very important part of any live theater performance. Without the<br />
audience, there would be no one to laugh when the show is funny, to gasp when it is<br />
scary, or to applaud at the end.<br />
But it is important to be a good audience member so that everyone enjoys<br />
the show. Because this is a live performance, the actors will be right in front of<br />
you. You should give them your respect and attention.<br />
Here are some things you can do to make this a great experience for all:<br />
• Stay seated and listen quietly. The house lights (the lights in the theater) dim to<br />
signal that the show is about to start. That is your signal to settle down.<br />
• Keep your feet on the fl oor.<br />
• Save snacks and treats for after the show. Food and drinks are not<br />
allowed in the theater.<br />
• Stay in your seat until after the curtain call (at the end of the show, when the<br />
actors bow).<br />
• Wait until the lights come up before you leave your seat.<br />
If you are sitting next to an adult, please remind him or her of these notices:<br />
• TURN OFF all watch alarms, beepers and cell phones prior to the<br />
performance. (No silent or vibrate; interferes with theater equipment.)<br />
• If you brought an infant, be prepared to leave the theater if the child<br />
becomes disruptive.<br />
• Use of cameras, video and audio recording equipment in the theater is<br />
strictly prohibited.<br />
• Latecomers will be seated at the House Manager’s discretion.<br />
Thank You!<br />
Go, Dog. Go!

“Go, dogs. Go!<br />
The light is<br />
green<br />
now!”<br />
Portland is renowned for its<br />
‘green approach’ to everything<br />
from civic planning to the arts.<br />
With coffee cups made from<br />
recycled paper to reclaimed<br />
timbers in renewed structures,<br />
sustainability is a big part of the<br />
Northwest way of life, and NWCT<br />
is happy to support this<br />
movement. With a mission to<br />
educate, entertain and enrich the<br />
lives of young audiences, NWCT’s<br />
commitment to the future and<br />
community is reflected in its<br />
responsible, creative and<br />
adaptable use of resources from<br />
unlikely sources.<br />
Theater is an art form that<br />
recycles naturally. Wood is reused,<br />
screws are rewound, paint is<br />
remixed, costumes are rebuilt<br />
and props are retooled to meet<br />
the needs of each show. But this<br />
creative recycling usually<br />
happens ‘behind the scenes.’<br />
With the support of the Office of<br />
Sustainable Development and a<br />
close partnership with the<br />
ReBuilding Center, audiences<br />
for Go, Dog. Go! are being shown<br />
just how big a part theater plays in<br />
this progressive process. Many<br />
costume pieces were created from<br />
repurposed t-shirts. Building<br />
materials were generously donated<br />
from the ‘deconstructionists’ at<br />
the ReBuilding Center.<br />
From lights up to lights down,<br />
NWCT is proud to demonstrate<br />
the possibilities for ‘green living’<br />
in the modern world.<br />
Chaz Mortimer<br />
Drums<br />
NWCT welcomes Chaz<br />
back for his second Go,<br />
Dog. Go! production.<br />
A drummer since<br />
childhood, Chaz studied at the Oberlin<br />
Conservatory where he performed with<br />
Adenike Sharpley’s Dance Diaspora.<br />
With Dance Diaspora, Chaz completed<br />
two residencies collaborating and<br />
studying with Grupo Afrocuba in<br />
Matanzas, Cuba. He completed his<br />
B.A. in music at Naropa University<br />
and moved to Portland in 2007. Chaz<br />
teaches the recording arts in local high<br />
schools and enjoys crafting percussion<br />
instruments.<br />
Stephanie Roessler<br />
Yellow Dog<br />
An eighth grade student<br />
at Waluga Junior High<br />
School, Stephanie<br />
is a level-6 gymnast<br />
who also takes voice, piano, and flute<br />

has also performed in Summer Nights!<br />
