Photo Flash: THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG AND THE NIGHT TIME at Actors Theatre of Louisville

Get a first look at Actors Theatre of Louisville's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time in the production photos below!

Tenacious and intelligent, Christopher is an autistic teenager who's better at solving equations than reading social cues, and he sometimes struggles to navigate a world that's stubbornly out of sync with how his mind works. But when his investigation uncovers painful truths about his family, he dares to strike out on his own, embarking on a thrilling adventure in this Tony Award-winning adaptation of the bestselling novel.

Alexander Stuart makes his regional debut as Christopher Boone. Stuart recently earned his B.A. in theatre from Columbia College Chicago, where he worked with Interrobang Theatre Project, Citadel Theatre Company and RhinoFest 2018 at Abaisses Theatre.

Tina Chilip (Classic Stage Company, Fiasco Theater, Ma-Yi Theatre, National Asian American Theatre Company, Huntington Theatre Company - IRNE Best Actress nom) makes her Actors Theatre debut as Christopher's beloved teacher Siobhan.

Local audiences will be delighted to see two familiar faces from last season return to the stage: Brian Slaten (Angels in America, Parts One and Two) and Jessica Wortham (Marginal Loss) in the roles of Christopher's parents.

Sherman Fracher, Sunny Hitt, Maya Loren Jackson, Luis Moreno, Trevor Salter and Seun Soyemi create the ensemble, each playing multiple roles.

The creative team features scenic design by Kristen Robinson, lighting design by Paul Toben, costume design by Kathleen Geldard, sound design by Christian Frederickson, media design by Philip Allgeier and movement direction by Sam Pinkleton. Talleri McRae will serve as the production's Access & Inclusion Consultant. Paul "Pablo" Mills Holmes will serve as production stage manager, Jessica Kay Potter will serve as assistant stage manager and Jenni Page-White will be the dramaturg.

Actors Theatre is committed to investing in accessible theatre-going experiences and will present a Sensory Friendly performance on Sunday, October 7. This performance affords a relaxed atmosphere with slightly raised house lights. Audience members are encouraged to move about or exit the theatre as needed. McRae explains, "The performance itself will remain virtually unchanged, though the theatre environment may feel different. Actors Theatre will provide patrons with detailed information about what they can expect while at the theatre, as well as a list of some of the more sensory-intense moments in the show, and when to expect them."

The Theatre will offer an open captioned performance on September 29 and an audio described performance on September 30. For more information on the facilities and all services offered, visit ActorsTheatre.org.
