Pet Therapy with Charlie and Marley is a short stage play script for 8 to 13 actors.
Charlie and Marley are pet therapists. But they are no ordinary therapists. Marley is an angel trained by St. Francis to speak with the animals. With Marley's help, Charlie helps pets with their problems. Today there are so many customers, they have to offer an express service. But an angry customer makes it an even more challenging day.
