“Chesapeake” is a Fun, Thought-Provoker From The Depot Theatre

A political storyline that can be appreciated by all viewers, no matter what their party affiliation.

When conservative candidate Therm Pooley’s criticism of Kerr’s government-sponsored performance art lands him a Senate seat, Kerr seeks revenge. The centerpiece of Pooley’s political career is his labrador retriever, Lucky, whose tricks ingratiate Pooley to voters. Kerr seeks to kidnap and retrain Lucky, but his attempt is foiled by a mysterious and supernatural transformation that brings him closer to Pooley than he ever imagined.

One wildly versatile actor brings alive a string of disparate characters who argue completely polar perspectives on the value of art, politics, and the mysterious connections between dogs and their humans. Hilarious and delightfully otherworldly, this one-person show draws its title from the Chesapeake retriever targeted in a heist gone wrong.

The show runs until August 6.
