Casting Call for "Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time"
The company is holding auditions for "Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: When the lights come up, the dead dog is seen onstage. It is immediately assumed that 15-year old Christopher Boone is responsible. He is innocent, however, and decides to investigate. Christopher has a unique mind that is phenomenal at math, but ill-equipped to understand everyday, ordinary life. His investigation (the details of which Christopher records in a book) leads him to discover not just who killed the dog, but secrets within his own family that turn his world upside down. Awarded both the Tony and the Olivier awards for Best Play, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time powerfully examines what it truly means to love, and the sacrifices it often takes to do so. Additional info: Rehearsals begin late July and shows are Oct 11-20, 2024 Please download audition sides.
