A spokesperson describes the event as follows:

“...“Go, Dog. Go!,” written and illustrated by P. D. Eastman, has been an essential and beloved children’s book since 1961. Millions of toddlers (and their parents) have fallen in love with its menagerie of highly mobile dogs who drive cars, boats and motorbikes in pursuit of work and play. The action culminates in a big dog party, while introducing basic early education concepts along the way such as color and relative position ("The blue dog is in. The red dog is out.”)…
In 2003, playwrights Allison Gregory and Steven Dietz adapted Eastman’s book into one of the most widely produced plays for young audiences in the U.S. Now, in collaboration with Chicago Children’s Theatre, they have transformed that play into a bilingual (English/Spanish) musical for all ages..."
