The Chatham Community Players is excited to present Bert V. Royal’s “Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead” as a part of their successful Play Reading Series. One Night ONLY – Sunday, November 17, 2019 at 7:00pm at the Chatham Playhouse, 23 North Passaic Avenue, in Chatham. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the door. Gus Ibranyi and Salvador Navarro directs.
An "unauthorized continuation," the play reimagines characters from the popular comic strip Peanuts as degenerate teenagers. Drug use, child sexual abuse, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion, sexual relations and identity are among the issues covered in this parody of the works of Charles M. Schulz. The show cleverly disguises the identity of each character, so that the issues of the play draw more focus than attempting to guess "who's who". However, the use of these famous characters is what gives the show its emotional punch: even these beloved child characters must some day grow up and deal with a harsh reality as they find their place in the world.
