In October 2018, Pizza Chapel Theatre Company staged a production of Chris Fontanes' Black Dog, which explored the #MeToo movement in a macabre, site-specific theatre experience. In Black Dog, we meet Rainy and Ophelia, two women who used vigilantism, cannibalism, and a little bit of witchcraft to punish wicked men that commit crimes against women. In this audio play, the women torture, toy with, and murder a man that harmed a woman very near the both of them.  After you listen, join @pizzachapeltheatreco for a live, drive-in performance of Black Dog: The Burial as they meet up with these characters again in an original story inspired by Fontanes' work. In a brutal night of vitriol, violence, and magic, we will be witness to the aftermath of Rainey and Ophelia's brutal deeds and uncover the motive of their 14th kill.  You can also find us on social media @artsdistrictpod!
