A courtroom rom-dramedy where love is on trial and the adopted child in the center of it all is...definitely not human.

In their passionate, fierce, and at times, absurd battle, [X] and [Y] are forced to confront every aspect of their identities, where they fit into the world, and each other's lives.

Dog of Carnage returns to the stage from a fully sold-out run at the Hollywood Fringe Festival (June 2025).

This play is performed in-the-round, with audiences on all sides of the stage and plenty of audience interaction. Sitting on the side "Jury Box" seats is highly recommended for those who love immersive theatre.
