Sarah Beth Tanner stars in Lifeline Theatre’s “Dooby Dooby Moo"

Sarah Beth Tanner of Lincoln Square stars as “Cow” in Lifeline Theatre’s Dooby Dooby Moo, based on the popular bestseller by Doreen Cronin; illustrated by Betsy Lewin, adapted by ensemble member James E. Grote, music by George Howe, and directed by Lifeline ensemble member Heather Currie. Ensemble member James E. Grote (Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type, Giggle, Giggle, Quack) and George Howe (Arnie the Doughnut, Mr. Popper’s Penguins) join ensemble member Heather Currie (So You Think it’s Easy Being the Tooth Fairy?, Fableous!) to bring the beloved barnyard gang back to the Lifeline stage! The County Fair is coming, and the grand prize in the talent competition is a trampoline. Duck wants that prize, but with Farmer Brown watching around every corner, Duck wonders how will he hold singing and dancing rehearsals for Cow, Pig and Ewe. Hop aboard Farmer Brown’s truck and travel to the fair with this hit musical about sharing your talents and reaching for your dreams.
