Synopsis

Chantal's Parisian mother hands her a dog-training manual as the secret recipe for making a husband happy. "You must treat him like a dog," she warns. So Chantal is soon trying such directions as: "Praise him when he is learning to fetch and carry." "Make the words 'come here' mean something pleasurable." "Be sure to frolic with your pet a part of every day." Chantal is doing fine in spite of the exotic models who swarm about her husband's studio until her friend Tina, a triple threat from Boston, comes to visit her. Chantal confides the secret of her happy marriage to Tina, who promptly tips off Chantal's husband. Fireworks follow!

Customer Reviews

The audience roared with laughter as Chantal trained Gene into the perfect husband! A delightful script with challenging roles -- especially Chantal and Gene. Fun play to do!

Laurie Kirk, Shelby High School, Shelby, OH

An evening of uproarious laughter. The audience barely was able to catch their breath before laughing again. A great evening of entertainment.

Jim Miller, Osceola Community Players, Osceola, IN

This was a fun play with good parts for girls -- something not always easy to find.

Ellen DiFilippo, Foothill High School, Sacramento, CA

A hit show captivating audiences with humor, timing and surprises. This was our premier production, and it was warmly welcomed by our enthusiastic and appreciative audience. [They] loved the second entrance of Robert Swann [which] drew the loudest laughter.
