When CB's dog dies of rabies, it causes him to question the existence of an afterlife -- but with a burnout for a best friend, a sister who's gone goth, an ex in the loony bin, and a load of inebriated buddies -- he has no one to turn to for enlightenment on his existential questions. When he meets an artsy new friend, the limits of teen angst reach maximum levels in this darkly optimistic exploration of drug use, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion and sexual identity. The Frenzie - Life Theatre donates a portion of proceeds to the Ryan Keith Skipper Foundation, which promotes diversity in the community. Visit thefrenzie.com for more info.

Hot on the heels of her appearance in Jobsite Theater’s And Baby Makes Seven, recent Tampa Bay area transplant Jessica Rothert slips into Stageworks’ production of Bad Dates at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center.

Rebeck weaves in her heroine’s encounters with Romanian gangsters and Tibetan Buddhists while Haley reveals her wit, frailties and layers of complexity during a succession of humorous monologues.
