The Call of the Wild

FALL 2025 at BARTER’S SMITH THEATRE

In this gripping tale, a heroic dog named Buck is kidnapped from his owner’s home and forced to serve as a sled dog in the Alaskan Gold Rush. In his struggle to survive, he quickly learns the “law of club and fang” while giving his unswerving loyalty to the man who saves his life. In the end, Buck must choose between living in a man’s world and answering the call of the wild.

Adapted from Jack London’s novel by Catherine Bush
