“Dog sees God- Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead” By Bert V. Royal, opening July 17th at the Secret Rose Theater in North Hollywood is a very funny comedy that deals with some some very serious issues that we all seem to go through at some point in our lives. Anyone who felt akward or an outsider, bullied, confused, directionless or questioning will find some connection with this show. Working with an enthusiastic cast who really seems to understand the play has been extremely rewarding and it has been exciting to see how audiences react to the show with laughter and recognition and tears. Whatever your High School experience, whether you were one of the popular kids or a “Charlie Brown”, I think “Dog Sees God” has the power to ask the questions that we all may ask at some point in our lives; “What does it all mean?” “Why do things happen the way they do?” and how do we cope with things when they don’t turn out as we planned and when people react negatively to the unexpected changes? Oh, and did I mention it’s really funny too? – Jon Cortez, Director

When “Dog Sees God” ran off- Broadway the reviewers said “Dog Sees God doesn’t feel like the same old high-school-warfare schlock. The characters-teenage and reckless-are both genuinely sympathetic and unquestionably cruel. Growing more hysterical-and more harrowing-as it flows to an inevitable, uncomfortable end, this taut comedy manages to make tired cliches about stoners and popular homecoming airheads funny and endearng.” – from the original off-Broadway review by the New York Magazine
