Bark by Popular Demand!<br />

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 />

lessons. She recently enjoyed her<br />

NWCT mainstage debut as “The Kid” in<br />

NWCT’s world premiere Robin Hood. She<br />

has also performed in Summer Nights!<br />

and with Kid’s Company NW. She loves<br />

her pets, rock climbing and white water<br />

and a charming accent (ask her to<br />

say “tax-deductible”) she became an<br />

invaluable part of our team. We know<br />

she must return home, but words<br />

cannot express how very much we<br />

will miss her. Merci beaucoup, Carole;<br />
