indulge in witty bickering and dope-induced dress-up, their
quarrels over the funeral arrangements, their well-worn family
roles, and their mixed memories of a feminine working-class
mother are as hilarious as they are painful. Playwright Shelagh
Stephenson skillfully charts the joyous and distressing
territory of family relationships that with insight and
compassion in this dark comedy. Award-winning director Nancy

of teens today. They include a stoner, a homophobe, an arsonist,
a Goth performance artist, a couple of slutty, booze-swilling
clique leaders and an outcast who finds happiness only at a
keyboard. Turning Schulz's pleasant world into a
scathingly-funny psychological disaster area, Dog Sees God will
turn childhood on its head and take you through all the
happiness and pain that is the institution of high school. For
ages 18+ due to strong language and content. Performances will
be June 14 & 15 at 7pm and June 16
at 2pm at the YMCA Theatre, Central Sq. All tickets $15 can be
