Pied Piper Players, a local drama group, is staging The Wiz (modern version of The Wizard of Oz) and holding auditions at Peninsula Humane Society in their Auditorium for the role of Toto on Friday, March 12, 6-8 pm.
A $5 donation from all owners/handlers who audition their dog will benefit PHS/SPCA animals. Pied Piper Players will cast two dogs for the role of Toto, since actual performances are the weekend of April 23 and the weekend of May 2, 2010. Handlers/owners will receive a coupon towards any performance of The Wiz, while the successful dog will receive top billing in the show playbill, a professional headshot and custom event T-shirt. Owner/handler will receive a cast photo, an invite to the cast party and six free tickets.

Muffin
2 year old terrier mix
I am a delightful redhead with a ton of energy and a lot of personality packed in to my cute little doggy body. Come on down and take me for an adventure walk, and we can check out the world together!
Gertie
7 year old German Shepherd
I’m a sophisticated lady with a heart of gold. I adore being next to the people I love, and will happily tip my paw in a handshake. I may be a little older than these younger pups, but I promise – I’ve got miles of love and life in my furry body.
