“At Children’s Theatre Company, we believe theatre should be a place where every child sees themselves — in the language they speak, the laughter they share, and the stories that ignite their imagination,” said Rick Dildine, CTC Artistic Director. “Go, Dog. Go! • Ve Perro ¡Ve! celebrates that belief with pure joy — reminding us that play, connection, and understanding are universal.”
 
“P.D. Eastman’s iconic book has been reaching audiences in multiple languages for years,” said playwrights Allison Gregory and Steven Dietz. “This project was born of our desire to see two of those languages braided together onstage, side-by-side, in a show that seeks to welcome, instruct, surprise, and delight. We’re thrilled to share this joyful adaptation with CTC’s eager audience.”
 
Go, Dog. Go! • Ve Perro ¡Ve! is nothing but fun and delight,” said director Juliette Carillo. “We’re working on creating a production that is full of surprises and big laughs.  I’m so excited for this show!”
