Coming to the Nashville Repertory Theatre
Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time Preview
“I first saw The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time in a large theatre in its original Broadway run in 2015,” says Executive Director Drew Ogle. “I immediately thought it was great, but wouldn’t it be amazing in a more intimate space, where the audience can experience the journey right alongside Christopher? I’m thrilled that Nashville Rep’s production is going to do just that. Even audiences familiar with the show will have a new, unique experience.”
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is adapted by Simon Stephens from Mark Haddon’s bestselling novel. The story follows Christopher, a neurodivergent teen on a quest to solve the mystery of a neighbor’s dog’s death while navigating his complex relationships with his family and community. His unique perspective on the world creates challenges that he must overcome in order to uncover the truth, and in doing so, he discovers more about himself and the world around him.
“At the heart of the play is a story about understanding others and overcoming fears,” says Micah-Shane Brewer, Nashville Repertory Theatre’s new Artistic Director. “The character of Christopher sees the world in a different and special way, unlike anyone else around him.”
Nashville Repertory Theatre is performing The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time Friday March 24 through Sunday April 2 at TPAC’s Andrew Johnson Theater. For ticket and showtime information, visit www.nashvillerep.org.
