Spots
Accountability
Dash works at a special factory where his job is to paint the spots on dogs.
His friend Myrna paints the stripes on zebras. Dash loves his job, but it starts to get monotonous, as he paints the same thing day in and day out. He dreams of painting other shapes. When Dash and Myrna decide to switch jobs with each other, they quickly discover that they may have bitten off more than they can chew. This humorous play teaches how we can experience success, positivity, and personal growth when we hold ourselves accountable for our actions.
