LIKAH! A Puppy Musical is an original family musical presented by DEEP Arts at the Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Orlando, March 6 to 8, 2026. With book and lyrics by Deborah Haber and music by Casey L. Filiaci, and directed by James Silson, the show follows a curious Border Collie puppy through friendship, family and the loss of her older sister, told with actors, puppets and animation.
