OMAHA - The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) Department of Theatre will kick off its 2016-17 season with the farce "Shakespeare’s Dog."

Living in a world full of unpredictable creatures—beasts, beggars, witch hunters and actors—William Shakespeare’s family must find a way to cope with their changing Elizabethan world. With four legs, a keen eye and a sharp tongue, Shakespeare’s dog tells the story of how the Stratford rogue became the world’s most famous playwright.

For this production, the Department of Theatre will be partnering with the Nebraska Humane Society, in hopes of helping more dogs find good homes in the area.
