Hosts Thomas Moore (He/Him) and Kevin James Sievert (He/Him) take a trip down memory lane as they discuss the play DOG SEES GOD with Director Lisa Heili (She/Her) and cast members May Heili (They/Them) and Karter Mueller (He/Him) who play CB and Beethoven, respectively. Teen Angst, Identity, Sexuality, and the world of the Peanuts Gang collide in this episode, just in time for Pride Month. HAPPY PRIDE!
Synopsis: 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. Drug use, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that’s both haunting and hopeful.
Directed by Lisa Heili.
"Dog Sees God is a rare item; a wicked satire that is so much more than just a tearing-down of cultural icons. It's rich with insight into our vulnerabilities, and forces us to think hard about what we owe to each other." - Broadway World
"a play that invites audiences to reflect on identity (the theme for their season), and reminds us how perspectives can change, for characters and for audiences, with time and understanding." - DC Theatre Scene
