Home Buying for Artists with Mikey Abrams

In October 2018, Pizza Chapel Theatre Company staged a production of Chris Fontanes' Black Dog, which explored the #MeToo movement in a macabre, site-specific theatre experience. In Black Dog, we meet Rainy and Ophelia, two women who used vigilantism, cannibalism, and a little bit of witchcraft to punish wicked men that commit crimes against women. In this audio play, the women torture, toy with, and murder a man that harmed a woman very near the both of them. After you listen, join @pizzachapeltheatreco for a live, drive-in performance of Black Dog: The Burial as they meet up with these characters again in an original story inspired by Fontanes' work. In a brutal night of vitriol, violence, and magic, we will be witness to the aftermath of Rainey and Ophelia's brutal deeds and uncover the motive of their 14th kill.
