The inaugural season of Players Circle Theatre continues with the company’s upcoming production of the “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.” The play is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by British author Mark Haddon.
The story centers on the perspective of its lead character, a 15-year-old math savant seemingly on the autism spectrum, who embarks on an investigation into the murder of his neighbor’s dog and ends up discovering some much more impactful truth about his own life and family.
We’re taking a closer look at the play and its impact on raising autism awareness with Players Circle Theatre co-founders Bob Cacioppo and Carrie Lund. We’ll also hear from the show’s star, 17-year-old actor Harvey Evans and Leigh Anna Nowak. She’s coordinator of the Ft. Myers branch office for the Center for Autism and Related Disabilities through University of South Florida.
