Two Dumb Dogs

TWO DUMB DOGS The Amazing Adventures of Ferdo and Floof, a play script, by Edith Weiss was originally commissioned and produced by the Backstage Theatre in Breckenridge, Colorado. Winner of the Colorado Theatre Guild Marlowe Award for "Best Children's Play 2008," here is a very funny script whose lessons include discovering self confidence, using your brain, and that following rules is sometimes a mighty good thing. SUMMARY: Ferdo and Floof are two not-very-bright dogs - well, at least not to your average fifth grader. Constantly getting into trouble with their owner Roger, due mainly to their desire to break his rules, the two dogs decide to run away and seek fame and fortune on their own. Despite the warnings of a very wise old owl, they enter the Enchanted Forest and encounter a cursed Prince who has been turned to stone by Queen Malevella; a hapless poodle, Mimi, who is a minion of the Queen; the legendary Dog Shouter; and finally the terribly wicked Queen herself. Ferdo and Floof must rally their brainpower to release the Prince and escape from the Queen's dungeon. Cast Size: 11 (3 F, e m, 5 Either) or 6 minimum (2 F, 3 m, 1 Either) with doubling.
