Searching for anything
CLAUDETTE SUTHERLAND and the play
DOG MAN, and I'm only coming up with her website. Not much on there about
DOG MAN, and it definitely wasn't enough to quench my thirst to learn more ....
" As a writer she wrote and performed DOG MAN, a personal history produced by Joe Stern at the Matrix Theatre in Los Angeles. Her solo show was invited to the Dublin Theatre Festival in 1996. Daily Variety headlined the show as KANSAS DOG MAN BITES IRISH FESTIVAL—“…a truly original piece about the American Midwest, greyhound racing and her father…DOG MAN speaks both to the heartland and the heart.”
and then this reference ......
"When I was a little girl probably five or six during WWII there were black-outs for certain businesses. Since my family raced greyhounds and the sporting events were held outside at night, the tracks were closed down so as not to present a brightly lit target. It must have been difficult for my parents having their only source of income cut off, but we went to Kansas to my mother’s family’s farm to wait it out. "
I'm finding no photo's, video's or additional websites, but if this is a
sample of her writing, then I'm positive her play
DOG MAN would be a treasure to have seen or read. Maybe if we all
friend her on her Facebook page, we can convince her to publish :)
Thanks for the interesting comment, Ron, let us know if you find that stuff you were looking for!
UPDATE *** Claudette Sutherland was kind enough to respond to Ron's email informing her of this post about the play she wrote and performed, Dog Man. You can find the comment she left here. That's just Pretty Neat ...You never know who's stopping in at Iowagreyhounds! ~ Thank you Claudette and Ron ~
