(Performance photos from Playhouse 2000)

Despite having never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, Christopher is determined to solve the mystery of who murdered the dog.  His detective work takes him on a thrilling journey that turns his world upside down.

The Curious Incident… explores questions that surround those who are “neurodivergent” in a profoundly moving play about adolescence, fractured families, mathematics, colors and lights.

The plays tells of how young Christopher Boone, an autistic math prodigy, must navigate a frightening world to investigate the mysterious death of a neighborhood dog, assisted along the way by a sympathetic school mentor.

"Christopher" was the first leading role on Broadway to be played by an openly autistic actor, Mickey Rowe. He went on to document the experience in his book Fearlessly Different.

P2K's production also features an autistic actor in the lead role. Emery Dorman is a graduate of Incarnate Word's theater program, and been active in both theater and film in the Hill Country. You may have seen her in Villainous Company or the award-winning Blind Date.

In another life-to-stage parallel, Christopher's teacher "Siobhan," is played by real-life special education instructor Rebekah Remlinger, who has appeared with P2K in A Sanders Family Christmas and others.

Others in the cast include Chris Diste, and Meg Ellisor-Traverso as "Ed" and "Judy," Christopher's estranged parents; Heather Cunningham, Gilbert Chris Burgess, David Cummings,Emily Olson, and Laura King as "Voices" 1 through 6, representing all the other characters in Christopher's life.

“Playhouse NOW!” 

The Playhouse NOW! series of plays was launched in Season 2023 to search out and bring to life important plays from current playwrights with no holds barred.  We broke ground with Sarah Ruhl’s new, absurd comedy Dead Man’s Cell Phone, which received a remarkable production and was met with wide-spread audience acclaim.

The landscape of American theatre is constantly changing, growing, and discovering new avenues of expression.  As your source for all that the theatre arts have to offer, Playhouse 2000 is proud to bring you a small sample of the newest themes from stages across the globe.

Because we know that our Playhouse NOW! selections may not be the right choice for everyone, we offer this play separately from our Season 2024 Package.  You can add this year’s title to your Season Package for just $21 per person, and, of course, your “Anytime Admission” passes can be used for any title in our 2024 brochure.
