DOG SEES GOD: CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE BLOCKHEAD by Bert V. Royal is an "unauthorized parody" that imagines characters from the popular comic strip Peanuts as teenagers. 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.
DOG SEES GOD: CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE BLOCKHEAD by Bert V. Royal will star Michael Underhill (Double Indemnity, Stoneham Theatre/Polaroid Stories, Heart & Dagger Productions/Happy Medium Theatre/Boston Actors' Theater) as the loveable, yet utterly confused CB (Charlie Brown). Michael has been hailed as one of "the young actors in Boston to watch" and we are elated that he is leading our production. Alongside Mr. Underhill, Joey C. Pelletier (The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, imaginary beasts) will portray the troubled and fragile Beethoven (Schroeder). The proclaimed "bad boy of Boston theatre" will soften his image for this heartbreaking role.
The show will also feature 6 very well-known names from the Boston Fringe community: Mikey DiLoreto as Van (Linus), Nick Miller as Matt (Pigpen), Lesley Anne Moreau as Marcy (Marcie), Lizette M. Morris as Van's Sister (Lucy), Kiki Samko as CB's Sister (Sally), and Audrey Lynn Sylvia as Tricia (Peppermint Patty).
After each performance, the cast will be collecting donations to support IT GETS BETTER PROJECT; an organization created to show young LGBT people the levels of happiness, potential, and positivity their lives will reach if they can just get through their teen years. The It Gets Better Project wants to remind teenagers in the LGBT community that they are not alone and it WILL get better. It's our small way of giving back to the community while simultaneously spreading a message of hope.
We here at Happy Medium Theatre hope you will join us for this irreverent look into the social norms of high school, and the dysfunction therein.
The show is directed by Lizette M. Morris
