GCC presents “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time"

“The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” by Simon Stephens and based on the novel by Mark Haddon, will be staged by the Glendale Community College Theatre Arts Department in the Auditorium Mainstage Theatre beginning Wednesday, May 17.

The recipient of The Tony Award for Best Play in 2015, the story focuses on 15-year-old Christopher. He is exceptional at mathematics, but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched, and he distrusts strangers. One night, Christopher stands beside his neighbor’s dead dog, Wellington, who has been speared with a garden fork. Finding himself under suspicion, Christopher is determined to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington, and he carefully records each fact of the crime. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a thrilling journey that upturns his world.

Performances are May 17, 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m., May 20 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and May 21 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased online at GCCTheatre.Ludus.com. For information go to www.glendale.edu/theatre. The college is located at 1500 N. Verdugo Rd.
