"Dog Sees God-Confessions of Teenage Blockhead"

McHenry County College Drama Club presents “Dog Sees God: Confessions of Teenage Blockhead” at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, Dec. 6, 7 and 8 and a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday, Dec. 8. The show will take place in the Black Box Theatre, Room D167 at the College, 8900 U.S. Hwy. 14 in Crystal Lake.

The play by Bert V. Royal is directed by MCC student Frank Padour of Crystal Lake. This unauthorized parody of the Peanuts comic strip by Charles Schultz takes a glimpse into the future when Charlie Brown and his friends are 10 years older and encounter modern threats to childhood’s innocence.

They examine questions like “What happens when we die?” as Charlie Brown mourns the death of Snoopy, his pet beagle. The play explores how teenage students address alcohol, drugs, sexuality and prejudice on a daily basis. The play contains graphic and explicit language, violence and sexuality.

Cast members as pictured, from left, front row: Joseph Rice and Jessica Miller, back row, Justine Aparri, Cody Oates, Jake Mathews, Alisha Reid, and Cecelia Long.Tickets are $5 at the door. For more information, call (815) 455-8746.
