Happy Birthday, Fionn!

March 9, 2019 By Captain Maiel Leave a Comment

It’s time again for another episode of Shagbottom Theater!

March means one thing around the theater: Fionn’s birthday! Count them. That’s three exclamation points in a row. So much shouting. And, it’s all for a great reason. Séamus Fionnagáin Murchadh Shagbottom is a whole year old. This time last year, he was born into the great Irish branch of the Shagbottom Theater family. As one of fifteen puppies, he had a lot of competition to go up against. Every one of his siblings, however, shunned the stage for other dreams, like families of their own, hiking, and tennis balls chasing. Fionn, thus, easily caught the eye of our former director when she vacationed with family on the old Emerald Isle. Without any pups of her own, Sadie was happy to take the whelp under her withers and sign him on for directorship. Let’s celebrate him, but first check out this snippet from behind the scenes that I caught…

In celebration of the big day, let’s take a look at the footage of Fionn’s pick up day.

Happy Birthday, Buddy!! Here’s to many more.
