Harry has everything a little white dog with black spots could want. There’s just one problem: he hates taking baths. He hates them so much, in fact, that one morning he runs away. After a wonderful day spent playing in the dirt, Harry gets so grubby that he turns into a little black dog with white spots…and returns home to find that his family doesn’t recognize him!
ArtsPower’s new musical captures both the whimsical humor and touching dedication to family found in Harry’s story.

Hold onto your hats as you follow the latest breathless adventure of the world's most animated elementary school student. Ramona, the exasperating but lovable third-grader, has delighted young readers for the last 40 years through the books of Newbery Award-winning writer Beverly Clearly. Now, she comes to life on the stage in Ramona Quimby.
While intended to tickle the funny bone, the play also incorporates issues that touch on the lives of real families. Ramona's life is a mess! Her older sister Beezus is a pain, her Aunt Bea may marry a dork, and her Dad just lost his job. She even thinks that her teacher hates her. Life is no picnic, and growing up isn’t easy. But with the help of her loving and patient family and friends, Ramona faces these challenges -- as audiences laugh and cheer her on.
