DESCRIPTION:On Saturday and Sunday\, Feb 29 and March 1\, Clear Space Theat
 re\nCompany\, in collaboration with Children’s Beach House\, will presen
 t\nthe award-winning British mystery play\, THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE\nD
 OG IN THE NIGHT-TIME.\n\nThe play is performed in a readers’ theater for
 mat in which actors\nare reading from scripts they are holding in their ha
 nds. \n\n“Reader’s theater is about telling the story\,” Director M
 ary\nCaligiure says. “I have also added stylized staging to the\nperform
 ance so there is a lot more going on than what is normally\nexperienced in
  a readers’ theater format.”\n\nThe 2003 novel THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF
  THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME was\nwritten by Mark Haddon and adopted to the 
 stage by playwright Simon\nStephens.\n\nEarly in the play\, leading charac
 ter\, 15-year-old Christopher\, sets\nout to solve the murder of the neigh
 bor’s dog Wellington\, after\nChristopher himself has been implicated in
  its demise. But the story\nis not your typical murder mystery. Instead\, 
 it’s an examination of\nthe human condition through the development of C
 hristopher\, a\nmathematical wiz who struggles with the demands of everyda
 y life\, and\nthe interactions with others. He’s never gone beyond his s
 treet. He\nfears strangers and doesn’t like to be touched by anyone. Yet
 \,\nhe’s still determined to find out what happened to Wellington.\n\n
 “I’ve never had a role so dramatic and so emotionally\ndemanding\,” 
 says Gavin Conner\, who returns to the Clear Space stage\nto play Christop
 her. Conner\, 16\, says that besides reading the script\,\nhe has taken ti
 me to research the character so he can give it justice.\n“I want to make
  sure I am reacting the way he would. And he\ninteracts with a lot of peop
 le.”\n\nDirector Mary Caligiure says\, “The story is about entering\nC
 hristopher’s mind and his world. He is different than those who\ndon’t
  have the challenges he has. We learn about his life.”\n\nCaligiure\, be
 sides having extensive experience in theater\, also is a\ndrama therapist 
 educated in mental health. “I am very excited to\nwork with this play an
 d the members of the cast.”\n\nOther primary characters are Christopher
 ’s father Ed\, played by\nBryan Whitcomb\; his mother Judy\, played by D
 ena Lagonigro\; and his\nteacher Shioban\, played by Meg Kelly.  Ten addi
 tional actors play a\nchorus of other characters representing Christopher
 ’s thoughts and\nexperiences\, which Caligiure says brings depth and ene
 rgy to the\nperformance.\n\n \n
