Join Two-Time Tony Award winning actress Bernadette Peters on Saturday, November 8th, at 1 p.m. as she debuts Kramer, the plush dog based on the character from her New York Times bestselling children’s book, Broadway Barks.

A long time advocate for pet adoption, Peters and fellow actress Mary Tyler Moore started the organization Broadway Barks!
