If you’ve ever spent more than an afternoon with any kid in North America in the last ten years, you’ve likely been exposed to Paw Patrol.

The adorable, animated dog team has been coming to the rescue of their fictional community of Adventure Bay since the TV series premiered in 2013 and has enjoyed ten seasons, countless spinoffs and merchandising expansions, video games, and, of course, a live theatrical production.

The latest touring live show is “Paw Patrol Live!: Heroes Unite,” and it’s coming to the Fox Theatre from September 8 through 10.



In this interview, “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes speaks with Ben Butters, the actor who plays the police dog Chase in the live production.

“I think that’s a lesson that kids really need to learn, is that what makes them unique, is what makes them a hero,” said Butters.

“Paw Patrol Live!” is on stage at the Fox Theatre from September 8 through 10. You can find out more about the upcoming performances here.
