This week’s photo comes from the Grand Rapids Civic Theatre. When the house lights came up for a dress rehearsal of Civic’s “A Streetcar Named Desire,” the cast discovered they had literally been playing to the dogs. Ten service dogs in training and their handlers attended one of the final rehearsals for the show, which opened Jan. 10. The event was coordinated with Paws With A Cause, which trains assistance dogs to help a person with a disability to complete essential tasks. “We want to prepare our dogs to work in environments of multiple varying distractions so that they are comfortable doing their job for their clients in everyday life,” said a member of the PAWS Training Team.
Civic’s production of “A Streetcar Named Desire” runs through Jan. 26 at the theater, 30 N. Division Ave. Tickets for the show are available at grct.org or call 616-222-6650.
