Buck Creek Players’ production of “Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead” takes characters from the comic strip “Peanuts” and turns them into teenagers dealing with drug abuse, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion, sex and sexual identity.
When CB’s dog dies from rabies, he 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 been institutionalized; and his other friends are too inebriated to give him any sort of solace.
A chance meeting with an artistic kid, the target of his group’s bullying, offers CB peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that pushes teen angst to the limits.
The characters may be vaguely familiar, but the play – described as shocking – is intended only for mature audiences due to strong language and adult subject matter.
Show time is 8 p.m. March 18, 19, 24, 25 and 26 and 2:30 p.m. March 20 at 11150 Southeastern Ave. Tickets, $16 for students and seniors 62 and older, $18 for adults, can be reserved by calling 862-2270 or visiting www.buckcreekplayers.com.
