You only thought you knew about Charles Schulz’s world of cheerful, dancing cartoon characters. Then, you watch Bert V.

You only thought you knew about Charles Schulz’s world of cheerful, dancing cartoon characters. Then, you watch Bert V. Royal’s play Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead and see that offstage, everything turned to shit. Snoopy offed his good buddy Woodstock after a rabies situation. And in typical child-star, where-are-they-now fashion, the other kids, well, they kind of went off the deep end in their teenage years, living lives full of sex and drugs — all to Schroeder’s classical soundtrack. In this unauthorized Peanuts parody, teen angst has turned Sally into a goth, Linus into a pothead, Peppermint Patty into a slut and Lucy into an institutionalized terror high on lithium — just a side effect of setting the Little Red-Haired Girl’s weave on fire. See what life serves up to our childhood friends as the up-and-coming talent of KD College present Dog Sees God at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday at KD College, 2600 Stemmons Freeway, Suite 117. Tickets are $15, $8 for students. Call 214-747-5515 or visit undermain.org.
