THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN NIGHT-TIME
MARCH 19 – 28
We all see the world differently, but Christopher John Francis Boone has an unusual perspective. Living on the autism spectrum, life can be tough at times, but being a mathematical genius certainly helps. After finding his neighbor’s dog stabbed with a garden fork and being wrongfully accused, Christopher takes it upon himself to solve this dark mystery. But when he uncovers more truths than he bargained for, his investigation will take him farther from home than he’s ever been alone. Based on the novel of the same name by Mark Haddon, this Tony Award and Olivier Award winning play is about more than just a murder mystery. It’s about perspective and coming-of-age. It’s beautiful, tragic, and fun.
