The CCMONSTAGE Play Series presents this moving coming-of-age tale about the challenges and wonders of life on Oct. 17-20, 2019. Tickets are on sale now
CCM continues its new CCMONSTAGE Play Series with The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, playing Oct. 17-20 in Cohen Family Studio Theater. Winner of the 2015 Tony Award for Best Play, the production is based on the novel by Mark Haddon and adapted for the stage by Simon Stephens.
The story focuses on 15-year-old Christopher and how he uses his extraordinary brain to navigate everyday life. He is exceptional at mathematics, but has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road. He detests being touched and he distrusts strangers, overwhelmed by sensory overload.
When Christopher finds his neighbor’s dead dog, he becomes determined to solve the mystery and find the murderer. His detective work takes him on a thrilling journey through London that overturns his entire world.
“Christopher is a hero on a hero’s journey,” says CCM Acting Professor Richard E. Hess, director of the play. “He teaches us about courage, about resilience, about curiosity and about hope. This play is a revelation, a magical journey to the heart.”
The 2019-20 CCMONSTAGE Play Series presents The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time on Oct. 17-20, 2019, at Cohen Family Studio Theater. Tickets are on sale now through the CCM Box Office; student discounts are available.

Playing Weekends November 2 – 17, 2019
(COVINGTON, KY) – On Saturday, November 2, The Carnegie will open PROOF, the second show in its 2019-20 season. The poignant play explores one of the most dominant topics in today’s society – mental health.
Winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play PROOF follows Catherine, a troubled young woman who has spent years caring for her brilliant, but unstable, father, a math professor at The University of Chicago. Following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father’s, who hopes to find valuable work in the notebooks he left behind. Catherine is left to grapple with the fact that she may have inherited her father’s tendency toward mental illness as well as his genius.
“The best art reflects reality and starts conversations, and that’s what we want to do with PROOF,” said Maggie Perrino, Theatre Director at The Carnegie. “Mental health is an important topic that is on the minds of many in Northern Kentucky. We want audiences to come and enjoy a thoughtful, award-winning show, and then talk about it with their friends and family.”
Performances of PROOF run weekends November 2 – 19, Fridays and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $28, $25 for Carnegie Members and ArtsPass Members, $21 for students. Tickets can be purchased through The Carnegie Box Office, open Tuesday-Friday 12 p.m. – 5 p.m., in person or by phone at (859) 957-1940, or online at www.thecarnegie.com.
