"The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time" Needs a Boy

Looking for a teen actor for "The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: This Tony Award-winning play follows the story of 15-year-old Christopher as he stands beside his neighbor Mrs. Shears’ dead dog. It has been speared with a garden fork, it is seven minutes after midnight, and Christopher is under suspicion. He records each fact in the book he is writing to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington the dog. Christopher has an extraordinary brain and is exceptional at math, but he is ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured beyond the end of his road alone; he detests being touched; and he distrusts strangers. But Christopher’s detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a frightening journey that turns his world upside-down. Rate: All roles are non-union, unpaid.
