Thank you to a lovely cast, crew, and the incomparable Adrien Brody. Special thank you to Nick Yarris whose life story and love of dogs touched all of us at WBTA.

It’s World Theatre Day! ⁠
⁠
For Bill Berloni, one training moment stands above the rest: training the original Sandy in the Broadway production of Annie. It was the first time a dog stepped onto the stage to truly play a character, just a young trainer, a rescue dog, and a leap of faith.⁠
⁠
That first live performance could have gone either way, but it worked. In that moment, a lot shifted, not just for Bill’s career, but also for what rescue animals could be seen as capable of.⁠
⁠
This story holds true, even still. Every animal that comes through our doors is not only looking for a home, but also for a chance. Most often, that means a quiet life as a beloved companion, but sometimes, it means something more unexpected. Either way, it starts with the same thing: someone believing in them.⁠
