Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead - By Bert V. Royal
Student director Sid Al-Thumali presents Dog Sees God: Confession of a Teenage Blockhead.
Following the tragic death of his dog, C.B. finds himself reflecting on what comes after death. With no insight from his friends, C.B struggles to find closure. But, when he is confronted by the person he has spent years bullying, C.B will discover that his dog’s death isn’t the only problem on his mind.
Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead is a dark comedy written by Bert V. Royal depicting the characters of Charles Schultz’s Peanuts in their high school days.
R-Rated: Due to the mature elements of this play (violence, strong language, sexual themes, drug use, suicide, and alcohol consumption) this show is not appropriate for children and may not be suitable for all audiences.

Mother Courage and Her Children - By Bertolt Brecht, Translated by Tony Kushner
Directed by Kathleen Jeffs
Throughout history, moments of courage have defined the contours of war.
Featuring original live music composed by Joshua Shank, D.M.A., innovative scenery by guest designer David Nofsinger, and the chance to experience Tony Kushner's award winning translation of Bertolt Brecht's epic masterpiece, Mother Courage and Her Children is the story of a woman who travels the Thirty Year War in her tattered wagon, literally feeding her family off of the machine of war. Bertolt Brecht began to write this play in 1939, from exile in Sweden during Hitler's rise to power. This translation by Pulitzer Prize winner Tony Kushner (renowned for Angels in America) was revived for London's National Theatre in 2009. It is a timely and relevant classic that has engaged audiences throughout tumultuous times.
