Dog Sees God Ends Off-Broadway Run on Feb. 20, Earlier Than Expected
By
Robert Simonson
21 Feb 2006

Off-Broadway's Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead shut
down its run at the Century Center for the Performing Arts on Monday
Feb. 20 —earlier than the Feb. 26 close date that was recently
announced.

In recent days, the production has received some negative publicity
through a series of articles in the New York Post. The daily reported
Feb. 17 that Dog Sees God producer Peter Stern and Martian
Entertainment filed a $5 million suit against lead producer Dede
Harris.

The suit charged that Harris made "sexual overtures to one or more"
cast members of the show," accusing the producer of "fraudulent,
reckless and grossly negligent behavior." Harris denied all the
charges. The Post further reported that all of the producers had been
banned from the theatre where Dog Sees God plays.

Trip Cullman (The Last Sunday in June) directed the take-off of
the "Peanuts" characters, which began Dec. 1, 2005, and opened Dec.
15 at the downtown stage. By its run's end, the show will have played
12 previews and 86 performances.

Bert V. Royal penned Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage
Blockhead, which follows the original gang from the Charles Schulz
comic strip a decade later, soon after their beloved beagle companion
dies. Royal's inspiration was to do a play "about teenagers because I
think they are the scariest people, vicious and just mean spirited,"
the young scribe told Playbill.com. "I wanted to do it with some kids
that we felt like we knew and show them as teenagers."

Impending adulthood has now resulted in new identities: a once
popular boy in an existential dilemma; an abused pianist; a
pyromaniac ex-girlfriend; two drunk cheerleaders; a homophobic
quarterback; a burnt out Buddhist; and a drama queen sister.

The starry original cast included Eddie Kaye Thomas ("American Pie,"
Smelling A Rat) as CB, America Ferrara ("Real Women Have
Curves," "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants") as CB's Sister,
Keith Nobbs ("Phone Booth," Romance) as Van, Eliza Dushku ("Bring It
On," "Tru Calling") as Van's Sister, Ian Somerhalder ("Lost," "Rules
of Attraction") as Matt, Kelli Garner ("The Aviator," "Thumbsucker")
as Tricia, Ari Graynor ("Mystic River," Brooklyn Boy) as Marcy and
Logan Marshall Green ("The O.C.," The Distance From Here) as
Beethoven. For more on the characters and actors, visit
