About the Play:

Why would a man attempt to win back the woman who shot his dog? Hugh Maximillian Bonfigliano could tell you why - and, in so doing, you might just learn something wise and wonderful! From the Oscar-, Pulitzer- and Tony-winning writer of Doubt  and Moonstruck, this heartwarming and comical play shows the lengths to which a man will go to prove his capacity to love and be loved.

 

About the Director: JIM FIPPIN: For Weathervane, Jim directed last season's Love! Valour! Compassion! and, previously,  Someone Who'll Watch Over Me, both Dietz productions.

In 2005, he was recognized by the Akron Area Arts Alliance as the area's outstanding theater Artist.

education excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans.
