Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time

The story of a 15-year-old math savant is the theme of “Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time,” a play that opens at the Players Circle Theatre on March 17 and runs through April 12.

Harvey Evans, who played Jem in a presentation of “To Kill a Mockingbird” three years ago, attends North Fort Myers High School and lives in Cape Coral. He has the role of Christopher Boone, the savant in the new production of “Curious."

Autism Awareness Day occurs on April 2 during the run of the play. Special events are being planned to augment the play’s theme of autism.
