Maine Edge reviews latest Maine Masque production
The Maine Edge published a review of the Maine Masque production of Bert V. Royal’s “Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead.” Maine Masque is the University of Maine’s longtime student-run theater group. The show is viewed as an “unauthorized parody,” a bleak and unsettling reimagining of Charles Schultz’s beloved “Charlie Brown” characters as they make their way through high school, according to the article. The review calls the play “undeniably different” and refers to it as a challenging piece for theater students. “Academic theatre should be about taking chances; congratulations to the Maine Masque for taking a big one,” the review states.
