The City Dog and the Prairie Dog

Green Box welcomes Creede Repertory Theatre's Young Audience tour to the Sallie Bush Community Building for one night only!
The City Dog and the Prairie Dog is a 50 minute bilingual musical for grades K-6, exploring themes of community and belonging. Expect to dance, laugh, and sing along, with lots of audience participation!

Paloma is a prairie dog pup in a prairie dog town. She’s not a huge fan of prairie living, though—the boring cuisine, the terrifying predators, the annoying owls. So, when her cousin from the city comes to visit, Paloma jumps at the chance to leave the open plain behind. Will Paloma adjust to life in a metropolis of 22 million people (and who knows how many rodents)? Will she survive without her dog town behind her? Will they survive without her? Featuring lots of singing, dancing, and audience participation, The City Dog and the Prairie Dog is a story about exploring the world, learning new things, and maybe, just maybe, coming home again.

Paloma es una cachorra de perrito de las praderas en una ciudad de perritos de las praderas. Sin embargo, no es una gran fan de la vida en las praderas: la aburrida cocina, los aterradores depredadores y los molestos búhos. Por eso, cuando su primo de la ciudad viene de visita, Paloma aprovecha la oportunidad de dejar atrás la llanura abierta. ¿Se adaptará Paloma a la vida en una metrópolis de 22 millones de habitantes (y quién sabe cuántos roedores)? ¿Sobrevivirá sin su ciudad canina a sus espaldas? ¿Sobrevivirán ellos sin ella? Con muchas canciones, bailes y la participación del público, El perro de la ciudad y el perro de la pradera es una historia sobre explorar el mundo, aprender cosas nuevas y, tal vez, sólo tal vez, volver a casa.
Admission is free, but donations are suggested.

If weather permits, we will host this performance on the lawn in front of the Green Box Offices located at 6990 Lake Street, Green Mountain Falls, CO 80819
