February 16th - March 3, 2024

Center Theater, California Center for the Arts, Escondido

Winner of the 2015 Tony Award for Best New Play, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a “dazzling, pulse-pounding and remarkable” (Time Out New York) adaptation of Mark Haddon’s internationally best-selling novel. Fifteen-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain and is very gifted at math. He is exceptionally intelligent, but unfortunately ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. When he falls under suspicion for killing the neighbor’s dog, Christopher is determined to identify the culprit in true Sherlock Holmes style, which leads him on a thrilling journey across London that will change his life forever. A thrilling, heartwarming and uplifting theatrical event!

Based on the novel by MARK HADDON
Adapted by SIMON STEPHENS
Directed by J. SCOTT LAPP

*Sensory Friendly Performances

(February 23rd @ 7:30pm, March 2nd @ 2:00pm)

A Sensory Friendly performance is a theatre production that welcomes individuals with sensory needs, including people on the autism spectrum, as well as first-time theatergoers and young children. Modifications often include: lower sound levels, especially for startling or loud sounds and lower lighting levels for moments with bright or flashing lights. The show is modified to allow for patron movement with house lights left on at a low-level, staff and actors are trained to accomodate patron needs, and all patrons are welcome to experience theatre in a safe, non-judgmental environment. There will be a quiet section reserved in the lobby for those that need to step out during the performance.
