Key City Public Theatre is thrilled to welcome back acclaimed music director Linda Dowdell for the highly anticipated return of Bark! The Musical, directed by Artistic Director Denise Winter. Performances run from April 30 through May 24 at Key City Public Theatre.
Winter says “Bark The Musical! has held a special place in our community’s heart for years. Audiences have continued asking us to bring it back, and we’re beyond excited to finally make that happen. Linda’s return makes this production even more meaningful.”
Dowdell, recipient of the prestigious Sound on Stage award for Original Music Composition this past September, reunites with Denise and the Key City Public Theatre creative team to bring fresh energy, music and joy to the beloved production. Dowdell says, “Working on Bark! again is incredibly special. This show has such warmth, humor and emotional honesty. I’m excited to revisit this musical with Winter and introduce it to a whole new generation of audiences.”
Filled with humor, heart and unforgettable songs, Bark! The Musical explores the world through the eyes of six dogs waiting in a neighborhood doggie daycare while their owners remain unseen. Through playful storytelling and touching musical numbers, the dogs reveal their hopes, fears, quirks and longing for connection — creating a charming and deeply human theatrical experience.
The production celebrates not only the return of a fan favorite, but also the theatre’s continued commitment to creating joyful, community-centered theatre experiences on the Olympic Peninsula. The ensemble cast features Brendan Chambers, Robert Winstead, Karen Skrinde, Maggie Jo Bulkley, Elaine Tosado and Kat Agudo. Dowdell leads the dynamic pit band on piano with Isaac Jasinski on bass and Angie Tabor on drums.
