They make musical plays just for training dogs to sit thru? Such dedication!

They up the difficulty by performing Cats
I clicked away and then came back just to upvote you.
To be fair, that mess is difficult to watch to the end for humans who love musicals too..
I like the bored ones resting their head on the seat in front.
Clearly the discerning experts of the group 😁🥰
I used to work at Cats and enjoyed quite a lot of it. Oddly enough they didn't record the best parts.
Makes you wonder if they use the actors' rehearsals, just have the interns pretend to do a play by reading a script and doing some motions, book an acting troupe's time, or buy out a theater that's having an actual performance.
It's probably rehearsals, but I want to believe they put on a full performance and do a curtain call for the dogs.
I've known enough actors etc that I would be surprised if they didn't go all out for the doggos. It might "officially" be a rehearsal, but they are likely putting in as much effort, or more, as a full performance.
Wouldn’t want to disappoint those good boys!
Some of the silliest people I have known were actors, and I love them for it
There was this Dutch artist who did it the other way around. He made a play that was featuring as the actors six trained German shepherds.
The play was called: going to the dogs
Sounds like something from the mind of a Dutch for sure.
I recently read A Fire Upon the Deep and it's sequel, The Children of the Sky, and this picture is very fitting with those books (they feature a lot of sentient wolves)
I love how humans are just these tall clumsy things on stilts, perpetually free-falling to the ground only to catch themselves with a leg and then to repeat the whole process.
Also I'm surprised no one has invented a dog bus to create a portable 5*4 cabin of pure brainpower that you can cart around
