This former stray cheated death to become an Off-Broadway star
Her Playbill bio is longer than that of some of her co-stars. On the other hand, she's had a helluva life, having barely gotten away death row.
Presently, following three years out and about with "Annie," Macy, a 9-year-old blended terrier, is influencing her off-Broadway to make a big appearance. In "For Peter Pan on Her 70th Birthday," which opens Wednesday at Playwrights Horizons, she's charged essentially as "a pooch." (Talk about pigeonholing.) One of her more huge bits of stage business includes eating up some dropped oat.
By and large, it's far from Oklahoma, where creature mentor Bill Berloni discovered Macy in December 2009.
"It's a frightening story," Berloni revealed to The Post.
He said the wheat-shaded stray in some way or another arrived in an Oklahoma City pound where pooches that go unadopted following 10 days are put down.
Nobody, it appeared to be, needed to embrace a scruffy 2-year-old terrier, yet staff members didn't have the heart to euthanize her. Thus they continued exchanging her pen cards, Berloni stated, fudging her affirmation date to give her additional time.
The staff's best course of action was enlisting Macy in an Oklahoma amendments program in which detainees show mutts submission abilities. After three months, she graduated at the highest point of her class, Berloni said. Be that as it may, on the jail's reception day, nobody guaranteed her.
Thus Macy wound up back at the sanctuary. Urgent, the staff connected with a lady who safeguarded Dalmations. She consented to board Macy and recorded her profile on Petfinder. That is the place Berloni, who works in New York and was looking for a Sandy for the "Annie" street visit, detected her.
He traveled to Oklahoma and "embraced her on the spot," Berloni said.
In the middle of "Annie" gigs, she made a couple of Purina spots.
"Diminish" closes its run Oct. 1, however Macy has officially arranged her next show: another "Annie," at New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse. "I think her greatest ability is her capacity to adjust and survive," Berloni said. "Regardless of what we toss at her, she appears to make sense of it. She's a professional."
