Want To Make Your Dog A Star? Nearby High School Holding Auditions

By SUSAN PETRONI (Patch Staff)

The Framingham High School Drama Company is looking for two dogs to be a part of its May production of Legally Blonde.

The show calls for a Chihuahua to play the role of Bruiser (Elle’s dog) and a Bulldog to play the role of Rufus (Paulette’s dog).

Both dogs must do well with loud noises, and enjoy being playful with high school students. Mild-mannered dogs are best.

Legally Blonde: The Musical is based on the 2001 movie, Legally Blonde. The Musical stays true to form with a peppy score and playful book.

If you have never seen the movie, Elle Woods appears to have it all. Her life is turned upside-down, however, when her boyfriend dumps her so he can start getting serious about his life and attend Harvard Law. Determined to get him back, Elle uses her charm to get into Harvard Law. At school, she struggles with peers, professors, and Warner Huntington. With the help of Paulette and Emmett, though, Elle quickly realizes her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world.

If you have a dog that you believe would be able to commit to consistent rehearsals in the months of March, April, and May and the run of the show May 13-15, please contact Chris Brindley at: cbrindley@framingham.k12.ma.us to schedule an audition.
