John spent the next 12 years bouncing from small resort-type theatres performing in over 100 different plays/musicals with vaudeville type after shows.

Rio - Dogvillian ~ Rio is thrilled to be part of this show this season. As a young mom living on the streets of Livingston, TX with her 13 puppies, some wonderful folks realized she was bound for bigger and better things and helped her make her way to Glenwood Springs in the spring of 2021. When her foster mom brought her by to meet John, it was love at first sight! She is so happy to be able to come to work with John and learn the tricks of the trade from all the wonderful actors here at the Vaudeville. Rio’s favorite past times are watching John fly fish for hours by the side of the river, time up in the high country and visiting her foster mom and playing with Adeline and Cody. Rio hopes you’ll enjoy the show and remember when looking for a new pet “Adopt, Don’t Shop”. All pets deserve a chance to be stars!
