With an uncanny resemblance to our favorite childhood gang, their white beagle, and a peculiar little yellow bird, <em>Dog Sees God<\/em> takes us down memory lane only to spring us forward once again.<\/p>\n<p>The play follows the lives of eight teenagers as they go through a difficult stage of self growth, taking us to the heart of high-school\u2014stereotypes and all.<\/p>\n<p>The entire cast was far better than expected, fantastic even. Jaromir Garcia did a stellar job playing sexually-confused and socially-torn protagonist CB, whose acronym can be safely assumed to be that of a familiar childhood TV character.<\/p>\n<p>Another truly outstanding performance was that of Angel Dominguez portraying Beethoven, a classically-alienated music virtuoso who happens to be a homosexual. Dominguez\u2014 possibly my favorite actor in the play\u2014lit up the stage and stole the show, warming the audience\u2019s heart with his tragic story.<\/p>\n<p>The antagonist, Matt, played by Richard Pizarro was another noteworthy performance. An actor playing such a cruel and ignorant antagonist should strive to evoke a key emotion from the audience: hate. By the end of the play, I loathed Pizarro for what he had done.<\/p>\n<p>Although Jacqueline Garcia\u2014 playing Van\u2019s pyromaniac sister who happens to be in jail\u2014rarely makes an appearance on stage, it was evident her stage-presence was remarkable.<\/p>\n<p>Garcia was bathed in a luminous glow that is usually only found in veteran actors. It would have been a pleasure to see her in more scenes.<\/p>\n<p>Sean Michael Haas, playing Van, is more than believable as a teenage pothead, even when one considers he smokes the ashes of his blanket.<\/p>\n<p>Haas was not the only comic relief, Samantha Llanes as CB\u2019s distressed and ever-changing little sister, takes command of the stage with her eccentric personality.<\/p>\n<p>Rounding out the cast are Yonettsy Santos as the fierce Tricia York and Andrea Lopez as the intellectual Marcy, with decent performances from both.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, <em>Dog Sees God<\/em> was a great play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under the direction of theatre veteran and off-Broadway performer Matthew Glass, the community was treated to a brilliant production\u2014Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead\u2014 at the Kendall Campuses Studio Theater.
