Show Information

Content Warning: Even though it is comedic, Dog Sees God engages mature topics and explicit language surrounding suicide, bullying, eating disorders, loss, sexuality, substance abuse, and homophobia. Some characters engage in substance use, staged violence, and staged intimacy. If you have questions about any of this, please contact the Program Coordinator at alabarre@contracosta.edu.
