Playwright Matthew Heiti's play “Black Dog: 4 vs the World” will be presented by Sudbury Theatre Centre for the second year in a row this month.

Back by popular demand from 2013, this drama about four teens who meet in the principal's office tells a compelling story depicting teen mental health problems.

Their journey towards happiness and good mental health is positive and hopeful, even though each has been impacted by a summertime suicide that took place prior to their graduating year.

The show runs May 23 and 24 and 7 p.m. and May 31 at 2 and 7 p.m. There are several school matinees during the week for teachers and students.

Public shows are $15 for students, $23 for adults and seniors, with a family four-pack at $50.50. Teachers should inquire about group bookings for school matinees.

Phone 705-674-8381 for further information.
