Have you ever wondered what happened to Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Sally and the rest of the Peanuts gang after they got out of elementary school? And what about Snoopy? In Dog Sees God, the “unauthorized continuation” of the beloved Charles Schulz comic strip, the gang of good-natured playmates isn’t doing so hot. The show opens with a funeral for a dog that contracted rabies after killing a little yellow bird (gulp). Things just get worse from there. The high schoolers wrestle with drug addiction, sexual abuse, mental illness, eating disorders, identity questions and coming to terms with their sexuality. You know, normal teen stuff. The black comedy, which began as a hit production at the 2004 New York Fringe Festival, now comes to Madison as a StageQ production. Good grief, indeed!

10/4-19, Bartell Theatre, at 7:30 pm Thursdays-Saturdays (2 pm on 10/19), plus 2 pm Sunday 10/13. $20.
