DOG SEES GOD Runs May 16-24

DOG SEES GOD: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead
CenterStage Players
May 16-24
Village Players Theater [Fort Thomas]

Directed by Parker Culp
Produced by Mark Culp

Cast: Ellis Quinne as CB, Christine Gallagher as CB’s Sister, Zak Kelley as Van, Kenton Baer as Matt, Roman Harris-Richardson as Beethoven, Deanna Berryhill as Tricia, Faith Von Handorf as Marcy & Bryn Studer as Van’s Sister

When CB’s dog dies from rabies, CB begins to question the existence of an afterlife. His best friend is too burnt out to provide any coherent speculation; his sister has gone goth; his ex-girlfriend has recently been institutionalized; and his other friends are too inebriated to give him any sort of solace. But a chance meeting with an artistic kid, the target of this group’s bullying, offers CB a peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push teen angst to the very limits. Drug use, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that’s both haunting and hopeful.

THE SHARK IS BROKEN Runs May 2-17

THE SHARK IS BROKEN
Falcon Theatre
May 2-17
[Newport]

Directed by David Derringer

Cast: Brady Dunn as Richard Dreyfuss, Keith Cassidy as Robert Shaw & Ted Weil as Roy Scheider

The first summer blockbuster movie is being filmed—but no one working on the film would know it. Dive deep into the tumultuous, murky waters of the making of a major motion picture with testy, feuding costars, unpredictable weather, and a shark prop whose constant breakdowns are looking like an omen for the future of the movie. In this comedy co-written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon, the short tempers of Jaws stars Robert Shaw (father of co-writer Ian), Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider take center stage as they bond, argue, drink, gamble, and pray for an end to the shoot, not knowing it will change their lives forever.
