Dog Sees God by Bert V. Royal, May 2010
"This show represents a journey that many people undertake, not only to find answers, but also to find themselves. In CB's struggle to realize where he fits in among this crazy world each person can find a bit of his or her own insecurity and confusion. Each of these characters represents a stereotype, or social icon, that sometimes we adapt to merely because we are told that's where we belong. I encouraged the actors, as I encourage anyone, to dig deeper inside that surface layer and find the person beyond the stereotype. While this show is an obvious parody of the famous comic that many of us grew up reading or watching on TV, I found the conflicts presented in this work to mirror emotions any person could feel at any single second of the day. Therefore my examination of the piece through this production focuses more on individuating each of these characters based on information given through the text instead of their assumed backgrounds. I think everyone deserves the chance to escape their past and be seen for the person they are here and now."
