The Dog Died. NOW WHAT? Thursday, August 17, 2023, 7:30 p.m. Bell Tower Theater 2728 Asbury Road, Dubuque, IA A comedic salute to those struggling with the effects of gravity on their bodies, grandchildren on their self-images, and the dating scene on their egos. This laugh-out- loud musical follows the day-to-day concerns of the over-fifty “empty-nesters” crowd, where the ultimate goal is aging gracefully.

Quad Cities magician David Casas makes his Bell Tower Theater debut with a high-energy and cutting-edge performance. David seemlessly combines hilarious family-friendly comedy, jaw-dropping slight of hand, and plenty of audience interaction. This is high-caliber entertainment like none other.

Your Connections Club price is just $16 per person, due at reservation.
