"Royal’s script skillfully delves into some weighty issues, such as self-love and loathing, identity crisis, sexual politics and bigotry. Even more remarkable is the wonderful balance maintained between the whimsy and the social commentary. Royal poignantly captures the angst, folly and raging hormones that surge through teenagers. Nick DeGruccio’s exceptionally fine direction leads to sharp, well-modulated performances." -- Lovell Estell III, LA Weekly
Andrea Bowen as CB'S SISTER and Joseph Porter as CB
CRITIC'S PICK!
"Bert V. Royal's uproarious yet bittersweet Off-Broadway play is an affectionate riff on Charles Schulz's beloved Peanuts comic-strip characters, spiced up with cheeky irreverence. Director Nick DeGruccio and a spirited cast capture the humor and heart in Royal's irresistible existential comedy. One needn't be a teenager nor intimately familiar with Peanuts to relish this alternately hilarious and heart-rending fable, which imparts universal life lessons of self-acceptance and tolerance." -- Les Spindle, Back Stage West
Christine Lakin as TRICIA and Lauren Robyne as MARCY
"The L.A. Premiere of 'Dog Sees God', directed by Nick DeGruccio for the Havok Theatre Company, is good indeed. Scabrously funny and acted with take-no-prisoners relish, 'Dog Sees God' should leave you howling until just about the moment where the laughs catch in your throat." -- Evan Henderson, Daily News
Wyatt Fenner as BEETHOVEN and Joseph Porter as CB
"Consistently marvelous! Nick DeGruccio's direction is as bright and inventive as the material, nimbly leaping from the sharply satirical to the emotionally resonant, while never losing sight of the grounded whimsy of the comic from which the piece draws its inspiration." -- Wenzel Jones, Frontiers Magazine
Joseph Porter as CB and Jaden Leigh as VAN
"It’s taken a few years for 'Dog Sees God' to make it to L.A. Thankfully, the exciting new Havok Theatre Company has chosen it as their second production, following the brilliant 'Thrill Me: The Story Of Leopold And Loeb'. Lightning can indeed strike twice, and DeGruccio proves himself equally adept at comedy/drama as he has proven again and again with the musicals he has worked his magic on...I’ve already seen 'Dog Sees God' twice and I’m going back again. It’s not often that a production affects me as strongly as this one most definitely has." -- Steven Stanley, StageSceneLA.com
