Michael Scott Allen, Taylor Coffman, Guy Birtwhistle, and Nina Silver in Rogue Artist Ensemble's "D is for Dog."

"D is for Dog" is at Studio/Stage at 520 Western in LA through August 7th. It's a dark combination of stage acting, video, and puppetry that might leave you a little shaken, if you care about the nature and future of man ... and his best friend. Off-Ramp host John Rabe talks with director Sean Cawelti, actor Nina Silver, and puppeteer Ben Messmer. (The play was written by Katie Polebaum with Rogue Artists Ensemble.)
