Dora nominee Lezlie Wade directs the Toronto run that officially opens April 1 for a limited four-week engagement through April 4.

The cast of Dog Sees God includes "Degrassi" star Jake Epstein as CB, as well as Adamo Ruggiero as Van, Mike Lobel as Matt, Paula Brancati as Van's Sister, Tatiana Maslany as CB's Sister, Ben Lewis as Beethoven, Alex Saslove as Marcy and Siobhan Murphy as Tricia.

"After his dog's death CB begins to question the existence of an afterlife," according to press notes. "His best friend is too burnt out to provide any coherent speculation; his sister is too busy searching for her own identity; his ex-girlfriend has recently been institutionalized; and his other friends are too intoxicated to provide any sort of comfort. But a chance meeting with a forgotten friend, the target of the group's bullying, offers CB a peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push teen angst to the very limits. Drug use, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion, and sexual identification collide and careen toward an ending that's both haunting and hopeful."

Jessica Poirier-Chang serves as set and costume designer for the Toronto run.
