A Wag of a Tale by Jan McLean, Peter Hill Neil Jackson & Doug Williams Dr. Wolfgang Offenbach returns to the planet Sirius (The Dog Star) with another load of earth children destined to be the pets of the Starions, who are highly evolved dog-like creatures. Unfortunately he forgets to bring one for the great film star Madogga, so she leaves with him on another trek to make sure the job is done properly. Wolfgang uses an old mansion as his nerve centre on earth and eventually finds a suitable pet for Madogga. She shows that Starions may be 'human' after all. Everyone returns to Sirius with unexpected results. Read Scene 1 here. (PDF: download or read on screen) Performance CD available.

  Templeton Primary School
• Thank you so much for Doggone Crazy! We had a blast doing it and the kids were great. One little girl ('Snarl') wrote me a card saying
  PS: I don't think you could have chosen a better play!.
  They loved all the songs and the parents were delighted.
  • A little, tiny boy in the audience kept clapping his hands and yelling Yay doggies!! in all the quiet moments!
  • A good-looking male counsellor thrilled the girls by remarking after a rehearsal that Madogga & the Puppettes should hook up with him later. Wink! Wink!
  You folks are so creative and funny. It was a real pleasure.
