DOG

Dog was fantastic. High energy. Almost slam poetry, but with a heartfelt, sad storyline. He made a character we’d all toss off immediately as an asshole and avoid straight away - he made that guy sympathetic, if not likable. Maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to judge people until we walk a mile in their one person show.... full review

The actor was very connected to himself and his truth. Very clear character, strong performance... full review

On a review board full of glowing superlatives this artist has genuinely earned them. A high octane feast of language, searing introspection, and intellectual gymnastics. THIS is why we go to theatre: to be branded, to get lost in someone else’s dream and be tattooed by an Absolute Moment. Some might say that Ben Moroski is at his peak with DOG but what I find to be an even greater accomplishment is that he’s ALWAYS writing/performing at this heightened level. He’ll accept nothing less of himself. He knows only one theatrical vernacular, and that is the parlance of Excellence. ... full review

Extraordinary writing and a beautifully crafted performance. At the edge of my seat, and at the edge of tears at times. A powerful look at addiction and the pull of that desire to go numb. ... full review

A tour de force. The expert storytelling had me engaged from start to finish. DOG's Ben Moroski takes you on a lightning fast ride, whipping effortlessly from heartbreak to humor. This show packs an emotional punch and sticks with you.... full review

A gripping, vulnerable, and whip smart solo show. This is a wild, thrilling, and unforgiving RIDE from start to finish. Ben is a real wordsmith and knows how to use those words, and more importantly, the spaces in between to let us see into him and the discoveries and heartbreaks the character is undergoing. A refreshing and unforgettable dive into one man's struggle with depression, alcoholism, and toxic masculinity. ... full review

I wish this was certified reading/watching/witnessing for every straight white guy I grew up with.... full review

Genius. That's an over-used word, especially when doing reviews for art, but truly, DOG is brilliant. A raw, emotional, heart-breaking story with writing so beautiful and poetic I was in tears at the descriptions of football. I went in knowing Ben Morowski was genius. I left realizing he's going to simply get better every year.... full review
