[NEohioPAL] Dog Sees God to Play at the University of Akron

[Benjamin James]

“Dog Sees God:  Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead”
An Unauthorized Peanuts Parody
Presented by the University of Akron’s Theatre Guild

A boy’s quest for identity and meaning after the death of his beloved beagle takes center stage in Burt V. Royal’s Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead in Guzzetta Hall’s Sandefur Theatre at the University of Akron from April 2 to April 5, 2009.

	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, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that's both haunting and hopeful.

	Directed by Benjamin Rexroad, this show is intended for a Mature Audience and is not for those easily offended.  Tickets are $5 for students & seniors and $8 for non-students.  Shows run from April 2-April 5.  Thursday, Friday and Saturday are at 8 pm.  Sunday is at 3 pm.
