dog sees god: confessions of a teenage blockhead
Design and Tech by students in THEA-305 Creating the Play, led by Teaching Professor, Elisa Benzoni, MFA
Acting and Directing by students in THEA-306 Acting the Play, led by Senior Teaching Professor, Lisa Berger, MFA
When CB's dog dies from rabies, CB begins to question the existence of an afterlife. His best friend is too burnt out to provide any coherent speculation; his sister has gone goth; his ex-girlfriend has recently been institutionalized and his other friends are too inebriated to give him any sort of solace. But a chance meeting with an artistic kid, the target of this group's bullying, offers CB a peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push teen angst to the very limits. Drug use, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that's both haunting and hopeful.
Please note, there will be no late seating.
CONTENT ADVISORY: Dog Sees God engages mature topics and explicit language surrounding suicide, bullying, eating disorders, loss, sexuality, substance abuse and homophobia.
