Lucía La Maga (Magic Futuredog), or just "Luc", came to NYC from Mississippi; she never talks about her former life, however, so the details of her pound puppy origins are murky. She is mostly responsible for patrolling the aisles of Magic Futurebox in search of tennis balls, trotting authoritatively into production meetings to beg for attention, and nimbly stealing junk food from unsuspecting hands. Her only credit includes stepping in for Lemon the Dog for most of the run of the New York Times lauded SEEWATCHLOOK. Like most dogs, she finds Restoration Comedy hilarious in a way humans never will, but she prefers the American playwrights of the Modern era such as Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams, and Arthur Miller, and someday hopes to assistant direct Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth for Magic Futurebox. She would like to thank PetFinder.com for their support in making her big city dreams a reality.
