Our Pomeranian plays Bruiser Woods in Legally Blonde. She waits for her cue, then walks onstage all by herself

so cute and hit her marks! My dog was in a production of Annie a few years ago, and had to be on stage, not moving for a whole 90 seconds with no leash or anyone touching her, just waiting on the hand queue from the actress playing annie. she nailed it all 3 nights (even hammed it up the final night by laying down instead of only sitting) but man was i nervous as hell watching from the audience, haha

link to pics of her on stage

What kind of compensation do you get from these types of things?

Is your dog named after Portal?

•

u/TheHow55 3h ago

Yes! In her 12 year life you are maybe only the 3rd or 4th person to call that out!

•

u/Tweed_Kills 3h ago

Hell yeah! Good name for a clever girl! Is she a capable escape artist, or notably quiet?

That's about the ratio of folks who have recognized my username NOT as a friend of Ferb, but from a Cartoon/Comic that would appear in Dragon Magazine in the late '70s to early '80s

Did you give her cake? Or was it a lie?

Aww! My childhood dog was also in a community production of Annie once (my dad wore a bald cap and played Daddy Warbucks. I was a nameless orphan in the chorus). I don't think she had to sit on stage though, just run out on cue.

Even messing up would likely be cute so I am sure the audience wouldn’t be upset lol.

When we did Annie in school they just cast me as Sandy the dog XD I was very trainable.

u/TheHow55 2h ago

I played milky white in Into the Woods, so I feel ya!!

I was 10 years old, and it was the role of a lifetime for me. I've always been a method actor, turns out, and it was so much fun to get into the mindspace of a shaggy dog. (Professional actor now.)

Cue, not queue.

u/Josh-Baskin 3h ago

Did they adjust the name from Sandy?

I love this! My dog could go out when called but sitting still, for 90 sec?! I almost can't do that

u/catttttts 2h ago
