Dog Mom
Price range: $0.00 through $15.95
Description
Liz is a tough-as-nails New Yorker with a life falling apart faster than her morning bagel. When a scruffy stray dog shows up on her stoop, Liz — the least dog person on the planet — reluctantly agrees to foster it. This temporary inconvenience quickly turns into a heartwarming and hilarious journey of self-discovery. Who says you can’t teach an old dog (or a stubborn New Yorker) new tricks? In the city that never sleeps, it sometimes takes an unexpected friend to wake up what truly matters and that the most loyal friends find each other when they need it most.

Press Quotes
“In a month dedicated to being thankful, DOG MOM is a good reminder to us all of what is important in life. Simple pleasures such as feeling the sun on our face, going for a walk, chasing new scents (some better than others), and a dog’s love make our lives richer. Liz learns these and more as she’s given something she doesn’t think she wants — a dog [played by a human actor]. In the ensuing chaos, she meets an overbearing neighbor, Nell, and her eager dog, Ruben [also played by a human actor]. Encounters with strangers turn into teachable moments and drive home the point that we should ‘enjoy the process as much as the reward’ … It’s a laugh-out-loud funny and inspiring story that will stay with you long after you leave the theatre.” —Courtney Symes, Broadway World
“Whimsical, heartwarming, and side-splitting.” —Shanti Kennedy, Broadway World
“Should take the country by storm. Perfectly loveable.” —Kim Cool, Venice Gondolier-Sun
“Charming and touching. This one’s a keeper.” —Jay Handelman, ArtsBeat
“Had audiences howling.” —Michelle Valkov, Town Chronicle
“Instantly appealing. Mixes laughs with heart.” —Kay Kipling, Sarasota Magazine
“Clever, funny, and heartfelt. Wonderfully inventive. Absolutely brilliant.” —Susan Short, Family Beautiful
Author
Tate Elizabeth HanyokTate Elizabeth Hanyok is a playwright and screenwriter known for her bold, dynamic, female-driven comedies and genre-spanning storytelling. With a sharp wit and a keen eye for the humor and heart in themes of awkward displacement, found family, and the resilience of the underdog, she crafts narratives that seamlessly shift from laugh-out-loud warmth to gripping suspense.Raised in a historical reenactment community in colonial Virginia, Tate's liberal heart and irreverent humor were shaped by the unpredictable (and often hilarious) realities of life as a misfit mischief-maker. Her acclaimed play DOG MOM joins a growing body of work that includes the Hulu Original SEX APPeal, the HBO Max feature Love and Baseball (which she produced and co-adapted from the play of the same name), the rom-com The Pet Nup, and the thriller Forgotten Abduction. Always pushing boundaries, she has also penned the elevated horror film Zeus.An acting company member at The B Street Theatre, Tate credits her time on stage in numerous comedies and new works with honing her fearless, genre-blending storytelling where what started as escapism through performance became something deeper: a second home, a chosen family, and an endless well of inspiration.
