Told through a music-filled, pop-up book-style NYC, Mister Snickers of New York City follows a gay man’s alcohol-soaked attempt at building a chosen family, centering around his best friend, his dog, Mister Snickers. A fresh take on the classic boy and his dog story, told as a queer, spiritual journey from selfish addict to generous friend.
“Michael Raimondi’s MISTER SNICKERS OF NEW YORK CITY is quietly devastating in all the right ways.”
- Stephen Kearley of HI! DRAMA
“[…] a well-written, well-acted, heartwarming but sometimes heartbreaking show.”
- Jeryl M of SAYS ME SAYS MOM
