Information on this world premiere production follows: This is NOT About My Dead Dog Written by Amy Schwabauer Directed by Dale Heinen January 13-28, 2017 Creative Space at Waterloo Arts About the Play In this comedic one-woman show, Amy Schwabauer combines reflections on love, sex, and alcohol with loud-out-loud stories from an awkward girlhood. Tackling German shepherds, boyfriends, and other attachments, this playwright/performer takes the audience through her journey from young partier to young adult. This is NOT About My Dead Dog is part pain journal and part offbeat rumination on aquatic life. It is heartbreaking, but always bracingly honest and funny. About the Artists Amy Schwabauer’s writing credits include Fluff Pup (Cleveland Playwrights Festival), The Bird Behind the Curtain (Cleveland State University), and The Accounts of the Warren County Fair as Observed by a Young Astronaut, a “tabletop” play with Mike Geither that is currently on tour. As a performer, she has recently appeared in Positive Reinforcements (Theater Ninjas), Snake Oil (Ohio City Theatre Project), and Left in Ink (Cleveland Public Theatre). Director Dale Heinen has been recognized by the Jeff Awards in Chicago and received the Arches Award for Directors in Glasgow. She has directed thirty professional productions in additional cities such as London and New York, and has developed new plays at Soho Theatre (London), Silk Road Rising (Chicago), Cleveland Public Theatre, and Chicago Dramatists.
