      The Mutt Crackers is a surprise and a delight. Of the 50 or so audience members who attended this performance,10 were kids. I think the adults liked it more so than the kids! That said, I observed most of them at the edges of their seats dazzled by the stage antics. The theatre adage used to be "there are two things you don't want on stage: kids and animals." The Mutt Crackers dashes that phrase right away. Structured as a journey story where a young girl receives a dog for her birthday - and consequently loses it - she must journey across the land (not sure what land, exactly, but you are not there for the plot), experiencing all kinds of circus performers before she finds her dog again. Needless to say, each scene features a different entertainment: Moose and Chicken Dogs spin, heel, jump rope, scamper through pipes, into and out of carriers, and the audience just loved it all. The jugglers are amazing and really dazzle the audience. Collapse

      Mutt Cracker is an hour of pure talent both dog & human. Darren is the ring leader of an excellent multi-talented group of entertainers. This one hour show was chock full of wonderfully trained dogs that danced, jumped, twirled,etc. and were such delight to watch. Humans also danced, jumped, juggled,etc. Don't want to give away all the talent and magic this show has to offer. Only 4 shows left. Go see this entertaining show and leave with a smile on your face . Collapse
