* Auditions for children
* Prizes, raffles, and auctions planned.
Description of the Play
RED DOG DIRT is a show that tells many stories. Some who see it experience the play as stories about their
own childhood and their own coming of age. These stories sometimes innocently reverential, almost always
funny -- found in this new stage play, RED DOG DIRT, reminds audiences of the by-gone values once
practiced in small-town America.
The Fayette County Connection
The stage play is set in Uniontown, Pennsylvania during the 1950's. RED DOG DIRT features, within the
compass of a few neighborhood blocks, scenes of a homebuilt clubhouse; arguments over sandlot
ballgames; first girlfriends; garage-rooftop, rocket-ship heroics; sassafras tea parties; fearsome bullies,
grade-school capers; sycamore-tree pondering on parents, teachers, religion, dead relatives, what girls
might be and how to win them as girlfriends. And finally the play features the catastrophic demise of
childhood and entry into the world of adulthood.
The common appeal of the RED DOG DIRT story holds the attention of audiences ages 6 through 90, and of
peoples from every corner of the globe.
Having played to hundreds of people in Washington and Baltimore venues. (see a review at Bay Weekly)
Red Dog Dirt is written by Russ Barnes, a Uniontown native, and a graduate of South Union High School.
