From Marv Ross, playwright, composer and lyricst:
"I've been busy coping by writing a new musical comedy that makes me hopeful, happy, sane, and inspired. You probably guessed it's about dogs. Can two misanthropic predators sharing an apartment and 84% of their DNA co-exist without all Hell breaking loose? Will the prophetic warnings sung by the Dog Greek Chorus be heeded by the unsuited pair? And who rescues who when when we adopt a mutt? These questions and more shall be addressed June 13-15 when the first staged readings of 'Marvin's Rescue' are presented at Bridgetown Portland Musical Theater in downtown Portland. "
