He’s a Good Man…

My friend’s Tom’s is starring as CB (from your favorite Peanuts cartoon) in Hyde Park Theater’s production of Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockheadby Bert V. Royal. Tom is amazing and I urge you to see the show.

 Here’s why:

1) Fun Summer Fare. Ken Webster has assemble a great group of actors who nail joke and will have you rolling especially after you leave the theater and quote the show. My favorite part is when Marcy turns to Tricia and they simultaneously yell, “I love you!.” It’s the perfect button for a gut busting scene. 

2) Hilarious Teenagers. I was a geek in high school. You’re favorite Peanuts cartoon characters come back in a truly unique manner. You know how everyone thought you were going to grow up to be a brilliant scientist cause you like math as a child but go to high school and turned into a angry emo princess instead? Yeah…same thing here. 

3) Little Fire. You find out what happens to the little red hair girl and I can’t say it enough, “You are not prepared.”

4) Groovyness. There’s a Peanuts style dance scene just like the cartoon mini series we used to watch as kids. Enough said!

5) Puppy Love. After the loss of Snoopy, Charlie can’t stop asking about our own mortality which leads to a beautiful young and confused relationship…that will drop your jaw. The scenes between CB and his love interest will break your heart the moment those two are along on the stage. 

I had a huge smile on my face as I flashed back to my own teenage year and how differently things turned out for me. I wish I could have had five minutes of pure teenage puppy love…
