Performed by ArtsPower National Touring Theatre, New York.
The critically acclaimed ArtsPower brings us the tale of Harry,
the dog who hates to take a bath. Harry is a little white
dog with black spots who hates baths so much that he runs
away. After a wonderful day spent playing in the dirt, Harry
gets so grubby that he turns into a little black dog with
white spots. When he returns home, his family doesn’t even
recognize him! This new musical captures both the whimsical
humor and touching dedication to family found in the
popular book by Gene Zion. It will delight youngsters and
adults, while showing what it means to be part of a family
(and learning the importance of bathing!). Recommended

excellent, literature-based programming." Arts&Education Council,
