Two local theater companies are premiering their newest productions this week. Check them out below:
‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time’ at Swine Palace
Swine Palace, a nonprofit theater company associated with the LSU Department of Theatre, will open its 2018-2019 season Friday with its production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
Based on the 2003 mystery novel of the same name, the play follows a 15-year-old boy on the autism spectrum who discovers the dead body of his neighbor’s dog stabbed by a garden fork. After he comes under police scrutiny for the crime, he takes it upon himself to investigate the dog’s murder, exploring the neighborhood and speaking with neighbors he has never talked to.
