EPIC Players presents "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time"

Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 08/25/2026

(NEW YORK, NY) -- EPIC Players presents The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time from November 20 through December 6, 2026 at ART/NY Mezzanine Theatre. This award-winning adaptation of the bestselling novel by Mark Haddon is a rich exploration of the touching and bleakly humorous tale of 15-year-old Christopher, his neighbor's dog and how best to venture out into the adult world. It was adapted by Simon Stephens.

For its 10th Season, EPIC is finally claiming a story its artists have asked it to tell for years. Staged in the round and co-directed by Aubrie Therrien and Meghan Dodd, the production is cast and shaped by a Neurodivergent company - artists bringing their own experience to a story that has most often been told about them. The audience sits on all four sides, close enough to be inside Christopher's world rather than watching it from outside. 

The cast features Dominick Mastrodonato (Christopher), Clay Hedden (Ed), Carly Hayes (Siobhan), Travis John Martin (Roger), Jocelyn Ellen Stout (Judy), Florence Taylor (Mrs. Alexander), and Samantha Elisofon (Mrs. Shears), with Jordan Boyatt, Gerard Riley, Ben Rosloff, Tess Lancaster, Ky J Farrell, Miles Butler, Mark Shock and Zach Lichterman as members of the Ensemble.

Tickets will be available for purchase online soon. ART/NY Mezzanine Theatre is located at 502 West 53rd Street in New York, NY.

EPIC Players: (Empower, Perform, Include, Create), founded in 2016, is a nonprofit, neuro-diverse theatre company creating professional performing arts opportunities for Neurodivergent and Disabled artists. Through mainstage productions, cabarets, classes and career resources, EPIC works to increase employment and break down social stigmas.
