Boy Needed for "The Curious Incident Of The Dog"

Manchester, CT, United States
ID: 532666Exp: 11/29/2022
Description:

Looking for a boy ages 15+ for "The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time". Please see the details below. About the project: "Curious Incident of the Dog" is a play by Simon Stephens based on the novel by Mark Haddon. The play is set in the present in Swindon, England, and London All actors remain on stage for most of the play. Scenes run into one another without interruption, regardless of alterations in space or time, or chronology. When the lights come up, the dead dog is seen onstage. It is immediately assumed that fifteen-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. The play is told from Christopher’s viewpoint, and he is onstage for the entire show. Many of the other characters only appear briefly and have few lines. Christopher is a very literal person and, as he wrote this story, he recorded what he saw, and only that - there is very little interpretation on his part. Therefore, it is up to many of the actors to decide how they want to portray their characters and the lines gave them. Additional info: Auditioners will be asked to read scenes from the script. Production Dates: March 31 – April 16. If you are interested, please apply.
