'Martha Speaks' at Landis Theater
On Sunday, see what happens when you give a dog a bowl of alphabet soup, as Theatreworks USA presents Martha Speaks at Landis Theater.
Based on the book series by author Susan Meddaugh and featured in the TV series Martha Speaks on PBS Kids, this is the story of a normal dog who eats alphabet soup that mysteriously goes not to her stomach but to her head. Martha is now able to talk, and quite outspokenly.
