Sutton Studio‘s David Sutton Photographs Chicagoland Dogs with Ebenezer Scrooge; $10 Suggested Donation Benefits “Season of Concern” Charity
The holiday tradition of kids posing for photos with Old Saint Nick goes to the dogs when Goodman Theatre hosts its second-annual “Pooch on Scrooge” Saturday Nov. 14, from 9 – 11:30am at the theater (170 North Dearborn Street).
Well-behaved dogs (on leashes) are welcome to dress up for the occasion and pose for a “quick take” portrait with Ebenezer Scrooge of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol (running in the Albert Theatre Nov. 20 – Dec. 31, 2009), by celebrated photographer David Sutton.
The event is free, though the Goodman suggests a donation of $10 for Season of Concern, a local organization which provides compassionate care to those in the theater community experiencing the effects of catastrophic illness.
There is limited capacity for this event; reservations are strongly recommended. RSVP at GoodmanTheatre.org/PoochOnScrooge and be automatically entered to win a free sitting with David Sutton at Sutton Studios.
