11 a.m. performance
Harry has everything a little white dog with black spots could want. There's just one problem: he hates taking baths. He hates them so much, in fact, that one morning 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...and returns home to find that his family doesn't recognize him! ArtsPower's new musical, based on the classic book by Gene Zion, captures both the whimsical humor and touching dedication to family found in Harry's story.
