It's been FIVE years since we premiered 'ZANNA, DON'T!' for San Diego audiences and to this day I am so thankful and blessed for that opportunity. I met some incredible people and got to share a story that touched the lives of so many. So much has happened since that show and I look forward to the future! I thought I'd re-share a memorable moment from the show. When we all met at 5 AM to sing and perform on a local news station. Not all of our performances made it into this compilation clip that they posted, but it's still so funny to watch. Did you get to see this show? Breakthrough Workshop Theatre presents: DOG SEES GOD: CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE BLOCKHEAD A play by Bert V. Royal Directed by Ira Bauer-Spector at The Ocean Beach Playhouse & Arts Center 4944 Newport Avenue San Diego, CA 92107 ***Performed in repertory with YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN*** *****DUE TO STRONG LANGUAGE AND ADULT SITUATIONS, THIS SHOW IS RECOMMENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY***** CAST LIST CB: Justin Warren Martin Van's Sister: Samantha Wynn Greenstone Beethoven: Shane Allen CB's Sister: Courtnee Stagner Van: Shaun Tuazon Matt: Trevor Sanderson Tricia: Margo Nelson Marcy: Alexandra Lee DIRECTING FELLOW Jordan Hall When CB's dog dies, he 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 the group's bullying, offers CB peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push teen angst to the limits. Drug use, suicide, eating disorders, violence, rebellion and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that's both haunting and hopeful. |
