(GALLOWAY, NJ) -- Nine of the world's most talented four-legged performers will dance, prance and skip their way into the hearts of the audience during "Mutts Gone Nuts" at Stockton University's Performing Arts Center on Saturday, April 13, 2024.  Showtime is 2:00pm.

The show takes dogs that were adopted from shelters and rescues and makes them superstars on the stage. The all-star lineup includes Feather, the Guinness world record holder for highest jumping canine; National Champion Frisbee dogs; a hilarious six-pound Pomeranian Pikachu mix; and a host of other dogs.

The dogs were trained with positive, force-free training methods by veteran comedy team Scott and Joan Houghton, who performed their duo act “Jessie & James" on a variety of stages from Tokyo to Las Vegas. In 2014, the Houghtons joined forces with some of the country’s top dog trainers, world-class comedian Jonathan Burns and adorable pound puppies to create an action-packed comedy dog spectacular.

Tickets are $25 for the general public; $23 for senior citizens; $22 for Stockton University alumni; $18 for Stockton staff and faculty; $15 for children (12 and under); and $10 for Stockton students. Special pricing for groups of 10 or more people is also available.

For more information or to purchase tickets, visit stockton.edu/pac. Tickets also are available at the Stockton Performing Arts Center box office from 10:00am to 3:00pm Monday through Thursday, and 90 minutes before showtime. Call 609-652-9000.
