I visited the “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” on November 17.

The play puts the audience inside the mind of Christopher Boone, a 15-year old boy who dreams of being an astronaut and knows every single prime number.

Also, he just so happens to be autistic. Caught in the middle of a volatile family and a mysterious murder of a dog, we follow Christopher on a journey of self-discovery and maturity.

The ensemble provides an amazing variety of talented Tallahassee Community College Students playing a multitude of small but very funny characters.

The stage lighting offers an outlook into Boone’s incredibly sensitive feelings and provide an understanding of his emotions that can transcend words.
