Cabrillo College Theatre Arts presents The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time with nine shows in April in the Black Box Theater on campus in Aptos.
When someone murders the neighbor’s dog, Christopher is driven to discover the culprit. He embarks on an investigation that unwittingly uncovers family secrets shattering his reality.
Based on the novel by Mark Haddon, adapted by Simon Stephens, the original London and New York productions of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time won five major awards — the Tony, Olivier Award, Drama Desk Award, Outer Critics Circle and Drama League.
Haddon said his book is about being an outsider, about seeing the world in a surprising and revealing way.
The director is Robin Aronson, with Skip Epperson as set designer; Carina Swanberg, lighting and projection designer; Maria Crush, costume designer; Doug Davis, Props master; and Marcel Tjioe, technical director.
