Marvin’s Rescue is a riotous new musical from Marv Ross of the iconic 1980s band Quarterflash. Directed by Brian Weaver, Co-Founder and Artistic Director of Portland Playhouse, this musical comedy barks, bites, and sneaks up on your heart. A fearless cast brings to life a story about the dogs who tumble into our lives and teach us how to love better, even when everything goes sideways. Funny, wild, and unexpectedly tender. 

Marvin’s Rescue is an independent production in partnership with triangle productions!, Portland Playhouse, The Oregon Humane Society, and Portland Center Stage, presented in the Ellyn Bye Studio at The Armory. Special Thanks to Bridgetown Conservatory of Musical Theatre and Rick Lewis for supporting the first workshop of Marvin’s Rescue.
