Theatre for Young America is presenting No Dogs
Allowed! at the H&R Block City Stage in Union
Station, April 22 through May 17, 2014. This will
be the Kansas City premier of this new musical
based on the award-winning book by Sonia Manzano
who plays Maria on Sesame Street.

Iris, a young Puerto Rican girl, narrates the
story of a hilarious car trip with her large
extended family and her dog, El Exigente.for a day
at a state park. A crisis erupts when a large
sign at the park entrance declares, "NO DOGS
ALLOWED!" What follows is a musical comedy about
family dynamics and creative problem solving
centering on the plight of a beloved dog.

Sonia Manzano wrote the book and adapted it into a
musical play based on her own Puerto Rican family
in the Bronx. Stephen Lawrence composed original
music and Billy Aronson wrote lyrics for songs
celebrating the culture, creativity and love of
this eccentric extended family.

Valerie Mackey returns from a 6-week tour of
Canada and the U.S. in Menopause the Musical to
direct this musical with a cast that includes Mia
Hedgpeth-Guerra, Bradley Thomas, Lena Andrews,
Nicole Santorella, Wil Andrews-Weiss, Eric
Johansen, Josie and Jami Lenati, and Isaac
Robinson.
