Suicide Dogs

Dezart Performs presents the World Premiere of SUICIDE DOGS by Jess Honovich. When the 22-year old playwright submitted her engaging drama-comedy, she had no idea whether it would even be selected as part of the Play Reading Festival. After all, 120 original new works had been submitted, and many were written by much more established playwrights.

SUICIDE DOGS is the story of what happens after the death of a well-known golf professional in Florida. When the golf pro’s sister Amelia and her family arrive in Miami to prepare for her brother’s funeral, she struggles with the intentions of a prying neighbor, a daughter who’s increasingly out of control, and an inflexible sister that she doesn’t know that well. Adding to the chaos is the discovery that she must now also take care of her brother’s very famous and very sick dog, Driver.

The play stars Rob Hubler, Stan Jenson, Michael Shaw, Rachel Silverman, Denise Strand and Yo Younger.
