WELCOME to Dirt Dogs Theatre Co.

Welcome cast, creatives and crew, we are excited to work with you!

Below you'll find information about Dirt Dogs, our social media channels, program bios, and comps.  

A dirt dog is a tough, scrappy baseball player who plays hard, gets dirty, has an unrelenting work ethic, and throws their whole heart into the game. This is the same approach we take in creating multi-faceted theatrical productions. We give everything we have to our shows, and we often get dirty in the process. Learn more at Our Story.

We’re proud of our name, and we’d love for you to use it correctly! Please refer to us as Dirt Dogs Theatre Co. (note: Dogs is plural). You may also use Dirt Dogs or DDTCo. When mentioning us online, please tag our account to ensure proper spelling and help others find our page.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Part of our success is measured by audience turnout and positive feedback, and social media plays a significant role in both. Therefore, we ask that you assist us by being an online proponent of our show. If you haven’t already, please follow Dirt Dogs Theatre Co. on social media. (Links to our channels are in the footer.)

IMPORTANT: DDTCo. will be promoting the show on social media channels and we ask for you to do the same. Here are some notes to keep in mind:

  • Please wait for us to announce the cast before sharing that information.
  • Please do not share photos of costumes, sets, props, etc. until after the show opens.
  • If you have a Facebook account, please like and share our event once it is live, which happens three weeks before opening, (Please also invite friends to the Facebook event.)
  • After the Facebook event is live, we ask that you then share our posts so that the whole team is promoting the same information. This also ensures that the branding and voice of DDTCo. are presented consistently.

COMPS

Each cast and crew member receives a maximum of (2) comp tickets per week for a total of (6) tickets. Please note that tickets are only valid for the date requested. Comp tickets are not transferrable to another cast or crew member and will not carry over from one week to another. All Sunday and Monday performances are Pay-What-You-Can so comps are preferred for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday shows.

Requests for comp tickets must be submitted at least 24 hours prior to the desired performance. Requests are not guaranteed; they are filled on a first-come, first-served basis as tickets are available.
