Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead

Hofstra University’s Department of Drama and Dance closes out the spring 2026 semester with a bold and thought-provoking production of Bert V. Royal’s Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead, directed by Professor Royston P. Coppenger. Show times are Friday and Saturday, April 10, 11, 17, and 18, at 8 p.m.; Sunday, April 12 and April 19, at 2 p.m.; and Thursday, April 16, at 8 p.m. A darkly comic and emotional reimagining of Charles Schulz’s beloved Peanuts characters, Dog Sees God follows CB as he grapples with the death of his dog. Searching for meaning, he finds little comfort among his peers – an apathetic best friend, a goth sister, an institutionalized ex-girlfriend, and inebriated classmates. An unexpected connection with an artistic outsider he once helped bully offers a sense of peace, sparking a friendship that pushes teen angst to its limits. Tickets are $15 and may be purchased at hofstratickets.com.
