January 30, 2020Home Made Theater Holds Open Auditions for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Home Made Theater announces open auditions for their April/May production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, by Simon Stephens, based on the novel by Mark Haddon, and directed by Erin Nicole Harrington. Auditions will be held on Tuesday, February 18th and Wednesday, February 19th from 6:00-8:00pm at the Spa Little Theater in Saratoga Spa State Park. Callbacks will be Thursday, February 20th starting at 6:00pm. There are nine roles available to men and women, and one role for an adolescent boy/young man. All roles are open to actors of all ethnicities and gender identifications. Actors on the autism spectrum are encouraged to audition.
Murder. Mystery. Mayhem. Math. What begins as an investigation into the grisly death of a neighbor’s dog results in a remarkable coming-of-age journey for 15-year-old Christopher Boone. A self-described “mathematician with some behavioral problems,” our narrator sees things differently than those around him, and, like fractals in a kaleidoscope, each revelation exposes another puzzle for him to solve. As the audience follows Christopher’s brilliant yet dizzying mind, the full story unravels in a visually dazzling sequence of events onstage.
Production dates are weekends, April 18th through May 3rd. Rehearsals will start in late February. Actors should bring a current photo and resume. Photos cannot be returned. No appointments are necessary for the audition. Actors will read from the provided excerpts from the play.
