Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead
Silver Summit Theatre Company seeks to explore questions about the human experience using Performance Art as our common language.
We maintain that live theatre is not a provider of answers, but rather an invitation to query.
We are committed to exploring these questions whether they are found in the classics, contemporary works, or new plays.
We choose plays that challenge our moral and social consciences, inviting our audiences to be provoked, stimulated and entertained.
We strive to provide exposure to works that are rarely produced in our local area, and to provide educational opportunities to the community we serve

Described as an “unauthorized parody,” this daring and at times shocking play takes characters from the popular comic strip Peanuts and turns them into teenagers dealing with drug abuse, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion, sex and sexual identity.
When CB’s dog dies from rabies, he begins to question the existence of an afterlife. A chance meeting with an artistic kid, the target of his group’s bullying, offers CB peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that pushes teen angst to the very limits.
Dog Sees God was one of the breakout hits of the 2004 New York International Fringe Festival, winning the Excellence Award for Best Overall Production, as well as Theatermania’s Play Award of 2004, the GLAAD Media Award for Best Off-Off-Broadway production, Broadway.com’s 2006 Audience Award for Favorite Off-Broadway Production and the 2006 HX Award for Best Play.
(Charlie Brown) CB is attractive, popular, and chill. He’s just lost his dog, and due to this, he begins pondering what happens when one dies.
(Sally) CB’s Sister is struggling to find her own identity and she tends to gravitate towards certain “stereotypes.” She has lost a lot of respect for her brother in recent years, but towards the end of the play, she realizes he’s the same old Charlie.
(Pigpen) Matt is loud, popular, and a guy’s guy. He is rather obnoxious, but very attractive. He & CB are close friends. Matt used to be quite the dirtball as a kid, but now has extreme OCD about germs. He is also extremely homophobic.
(Shroeder) He is shy, quiet and extremely talented. Once close friends with the rest of the group, he is now an outcast.
(Linus) The philosopher of the group since childhood, Van is a stoner. He has lots of views of the world, and is CB’s best friend.
(Peppermint Patty) She is bossy and a crazy party girl. She’s very popular and extremely mean.
(Marcy) Tricia’s best friend and a follower. She’s a mean party girl, mostly because Tricia is.
(Lucy) She’s CB’s put-on-hold girlfriend, put-on-hold due to the fact that she’s been institutionalized for setting Little Red Haired Girl’s hair on fire. She’s bossy & independent, and a true friend to CB.

Thanks to the generosity of many, our crowdsource fundraising project through Kickstarter has been a great success. We would like to thank all of sponsors for making it possible to bring the best possible production to the stage and for making this dream a reality. We look forward to seeing you all at our premier production of Screwtape adapted for the stage by James Forsyth and based on the novel The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis later this month.

Based on the book The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis and adapted for the stage by James Forsyth, Screwtape is an edgy, devilish dramatic contest with high-level meaning, thrashed out on stage with brilliant low-level comedy and wicked wit.
