Manila, Philippines--New theater company, Twin Bill Theater, presents the Asian premiere of the unauthorized parody DOG SEES GOD: CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE BLOCKHEAD, written by Bert V. Royal ("Easy A"), at Staple and Perk Bakery (Ecoplaza Building, Pasong Tamo Extension, Makati City), now through Friday, February 26, at 8 p.m. For tickets, contact Kiko at (63927) 460 4652 or email twinbilltheater@gmail.com.

DOG SEES GOD premiered on Off-Broadway in 2005. The play is a clever satire focusing on the "Peanuts" gang, created by Charles M. Schulz, and their adolescent struggles. This dark yet humorous material takes the audience beyond the playground and into a world of disorders, depressions, substance abuse, and questions of sexual identity.

Charlie Brown, who Mr. Royal refers to as CB, and his little sister, Sally, open the play with a funeral for their beloved childhood dog, Snoopy. Devastated by the tragic loss of his best friend, CB sets off to seek answers about life after death from his friends Van (Linus) and Beethoven (Schroeder). The once-lovable Pig-Pen has metamorphosed into Matt, the high school jock--and jerk--who finds joy in bullying his classmates, particularly Beethoven.

Directed by Steven Conde, this Asian premiere production features Nel Gomez, Brian Sy, Vince Lim, Maronne Cruz, Gab Medina, Kathleen Francisco, Camille Velicaria, and Sarah Facuri.

They are joined by Francis Matheu (producer-choreographer), Joseph Matheu (producer-lighting designer), Jay Pangilinan (musical scorer), Winter David (video animator), Josephus Gayona (production manager), Bryan Ladim (stage manager), and Micky Torres (assistant stage manager).

The play is intended for mature audiences.
