What makes this production unique?
Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead is a full-length play split into many different vignettes each exposing character faults, that then bring to life the fact that we are all frauds in our day to day affairs. Its a gripping drama that leaves the audience with a sense of self discovery while sending the message home through comedy that is only effective on the back drop of the drama. Some would say is a Black Comedy Sit-Com.
The production is a combination of Multi-media as well as live performance produced in an intimate theatre creating an atmosphere that makes the audience become voyeurs of the High School the play takes place in.
All the cast and crew have extensive FIlm/TV experience and this is all their first adventure into the land of live theatre. The eclectic cast are able to transform their Film/TV acting strengths to tell a compelling story. Each character also plays with the idea of one of the 7 deadly sins to give the some what “on the nose” characters more depth and humanity.
We will also be donating a percentage of ticket sales to Project Limelight as well as Fulfilling Young Artists, both are non profit charitable youth organizations that develop young artists in performance and are both no cost to the participants.
