The Herald-Dispatch ran a terrific article this week on the latest offering by Marshall University's Department of Theatre - the acclaimed play The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
You can read the story at this link - here's an excerpt:
-------------------
Director Jack Cirillo has been creating live productions with the students of Marshall University's School of Theatre for over two decades now. He often travels to New York City and even London to see shows and find plays suitable and challenging for his Marshall students, and entertaining for the arts-loving members of the Huntington community to enjoy.
One result of Cirillo's travels was the discovery of the play "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time."
The School of Theatre will present the play at the Francis-Booth Experimental Theatre in the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center located on Marshall's Huntington campus. Show dates include Nov. 14-16 and Nov. 20-23 and the performances will begin at 7:30 p.m.
"I saw the 'Curious Incident' play in London a few years ago and it was technically and creatively impressive," said Cirillo. "Every year about this time, we decide on what plays we will be doing and this one has been on my short list. But, we wanted to make sure that we could pull it off because the production of the play required a lot of special effects. We are a small program and we have to consider, 'Can we take this play on?' So, I connected with some folks over in the Marshall College of Arts and Media and a couple of students over there were doing some interesting work. Over the summer, I worked with Assistant Professor of Graphic Design and Digital Production Daniel Dean and we came up with some special effect ideas that we could do and the results have been terrific."
