Join us for this raucous comedy, guaranteed to make you laugh out loud and cry out for more Tammy Wynett!
 Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead
By: Bert V. Royal
Silver House Theatre
February 29th- March 22nd
Directed by: Karen Heimbaugh
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.
“Good grief! The Peanuts kids have finally come out of their shells.” —Time Out.

A high-energy, electonic musical set in a futuristic cabaret bar where the audience actually are the punters in the bar. Performed in and around the tables, rather than on a traditional stage, its raunchy dance music score and intense atomosphere completely envelops the audience and leaves them screaming for more. "A haven for hedonistic disco-bunnies." - Evening Standard. "Wall-to-wall bad taste and fun . . . The Rocky Horror Show for the Millennium." - Daily Mail.
All shows will occur at the Silver House Theatre, 1107 Chartres St, Houston, TX 77003.
