"Lost" Star Joins Off-Broadway "Peanuts" Musical Spoof Dog Sees God
By Ernio Hernandez
31 Oct 2005
Ian Somerhalder — who appeared last season on ABC's "Lost" — joins Eddie
Kaye Thomas and Eliza Dushku in the cast of the upcoming Off-Broadway run
of Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead.
Trip Cullman (The Last Sunday in June) will direct the new run of the
award winning 2004 FringeNYC take-off of the "Peanuts" characters.
Previews begin Dec. 1 towards a Dec. 15 opening at the downtown's Century
Center for the Performing Arts.
Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead is written by Bert V.
Royal. The spoof of the Charles Schulz comic strip "Peanuts" follows the
original gang a decade later as their beloved beagle companion dies. A
missing pen pal, an abused pianist, a pyromaniac ex-girlfriend, two drunk
cheerleaders, a homophobic quarterback, a burnt out Buddhist and a drama
queen sister fill the show's ensemble.
Somerhalder appeared as Boone, the first major character to be killed, on
the first season of TV's "Lost." The actor has also appeared in the films
"Rules of Attraction" and the upcoming "Pulse" as well as other TV stints
on "Smallville," ""Young Americans," "CSI: Miami," Law & Order: SVU" and
"Now and Again."
He joins Thomas ("American Pie," Smelling A Rat) and Dushku ("Bring It
On," "Tru Calling") in a cast that also features America Ferrara ("Real
Women Have Curves"), Ari Graynor ("Mystic River," Brooklyn Boy), Logan
Marshall Green ("The O.C.," The Distance From Here) and Keith Nobbs
("Phone Booth," Romance). Somerhalder replaces the previously announced
Michael Rady.
The design team for Dog Sees God features David Korins (scenic), Jenny
Mannis (costumes), Darron L. West (sound) and Brian MacDevitt (lighting).
Dede Harris — currently represented on Broadway by Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
and Hairspray — will produce with Sorrell Tomlinson and David Carpenter as
associate producers. Other recent credits for Harris include The
Pillowman, Shockheaded Peter, Golda's Balcony, The Crucible, Elaine
Stritch At Liberty, Metamorphoses, Noises Off, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's
Nest, The Music Man, Swing!, The Exonerated and tick, tick...BOOM!
Produced by File 14 Productions at The New York International Fringe
Festival in 2004, the palindromically-titled show then continued at its
venue under an Off Broadway contract in association with the Soho
Playhouse. The work received a Fringe Excellence Award for Overall
Production and GLAAD's Media Award for Outstanding Off-Off Broadway
Production.
Tickets to Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead at the Century
Center, 111 East 15th Street, will be available through (212) 239-6200.
