CCBC presents The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Simon Stephens

Show runs Nov. 21 – 25, 2024 at CCBC Essex

Baltimore County, Md. (November 14, 2024) – Community College of Baltimore County Performing Arts presents The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Simon Stephens, Nov. 21 – 25 in the F. Scott Black Theatre at CCBC Essex, 7201 Rossville Boulevard.

Christopher Boone, a 15-year-old, has a mind for mathematics but struggles with the complexities of everyday life. He’s never gone beyond the end of his street alone, hates being touched and is wary of strangers. However, when he discovers his neighbor’s dog, Wellington, dead, everything changes. It’s seven minutes past midnight, and Christopher finds himself accused of the crime. Determined to uncover the truth, he begins an investigation that’s not just about solving a mystery but about pushing his own boundaries in ways he never imagined. As he meticulously records every clue, Christopher’s detective work—despite being forbidden by his father—takes him on a thrilling, life-altering journey.
