Victory for Kids –
“Harry the Dirty Dog”
Victory Theatre
January 25
As part of the Victory for Kids
2009-2010 Series, "Harry the Dirty Dog" is coming in for two performances
- 9 a.m. and 12 noon. Harry has everything a little white dog with black spots
could want. There's just one problem: he HATES taking baths! He hates them so
much, in fact, that one morning he runs away. After a wonderful day spent
playing in the dirt, Harry gets so grubby that he turns into a little black dog
with white spots and returns home to find that his family doesn't recognize
him! ArtsPower's New Musical, based on the classic book by Gene Zion, with
illustrations by Margaret Bloy Graham, captures both the whimsical humor and
touching dedication to family found in Harry's story. Call 435-6287 for more
information.
