“It’s Theatre Time Charlie Brown”

It’s Theatre Time Charlie Brown

Who says there’s nothing to do in Bakersfield, Ca? Bakersfield is full of entertainment, and specifically, community theater entertainment. With three community theatres, Bakersfield always has a play going on. Next weekend is the first of two weekends that “The Empty Space” community theatre will be presenting the play, Bert V. Royal play,“Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead”. The play opens on Friday, April 19th at 11pm, with additional performances on Sunday, April 20th, Saturday, April 26th, and Sunday, April 27th all at 11pm.

“The Empty Space” is a community theatre made up of volunteer actors. All the plays at “The Empty Space” are free, but the theatre does encourage donations.

“The Empty Space” website talks about “The play “Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead” written by Bert V. Royal and directed by Michael Pawloski. The play is about CB who’s dog’s death causes to him to wonder about life after death. When CB meets an artistic kid, he gets peace of mind. (www.esonline.org) .

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.
