Skidmore College Presents DOG SEES GOD: CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE BLOCKHEAD, 3/2-7

The Skidmore College Department of Theater is pleased to announce its Spring 2012 Black Box production, DOG SEES GOD: CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE BLOCKHEAD by Bert V. Royal, directed by Margaret Smith '12.  Performances are March 2-7, 2012. All shows are in the Janet Kinghorn Bernhard Theater at 8:00pm, except Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:00pm. 

In this politically charged and provocative tragicomedy, Bert V. Royal re-imagines the iconic Peanuts characters as teenagers and transports them to high school.  Dog Sees God is a biting, yet extremely poignant, unauthorized parody, which explores salient social issues such as bullying and harassment, homophobia, and the desperate quest to discover identity and meaning. 

From director Margaret Smith '12: "In the spirit of Skidmore College's admirable interdisciplinary philosophy, I hope to forge a coalition of sorts between my two majors, Gender Studies and Theater, and create a truly interdisciplinary thesis project.  With this in mind, I chose to direct Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead as the theater department's black box studio production; a play which addresses under-represented social issues in a frank, entertaining, and unexpected way.  By using the beloved Peanuts characters as a satirical device, playwright Royal makes ethereal issues tangible for a modern audience.  I hope to use this prestigious opportunity as a vehicle to continue to consciously explore and test the theatrical philosophy that has always guided my work; that political theater which explores social problems can be used as a vehicle to realize larger activist and educational goals."
