Created by Mandy Fox and the MFA Acting Class of 2025
In Partnership with Canine Companions, Pet Partners of Central Ohio, and Ohio Prison Dog Coalition
As part of the graduate acting curriculum, the Graduate Acting Class of 2025 will present a new,
original collaborative work based on their outreach activities in 2024. Professor Mandy Fox and
the students worked with three community partners: Canine Companions, which provides
service dogs to adults, children and veterans with disabilities and facility dogs to professionals
working in healthcare, criminal justice and educational settings; Pet Partners of Central Ohio,
which envisions a future filled with happier, healthier communities through greater access to
meaningful interactions with therapy dogs and other therapy animals; and the Ohio Prison Dog
Coalition, which provides a connection among all of the active prison dog training programs in
Ohio. The production inspired by student outreach and engagement with these community
groups, marks the culmination of their three years of study towards the Master of Fine Arts in
Theatre with an emphasis in the creation of new theatre.
Access the digital program (available one week before the production) before, during, or after the performance. No paper programs will be distributed.
Tickets can be purchased in person at the Ohio State Theatre Ticket Office, by phone at 614-292-2295, or online through Ticketmaster.
