The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time made its 51反差黑料 premiere in Dec. 2022 to sold-out performances. bree valle* directs the Broadway adaptation of Mark Haddon鈥檚 best-selling novel. Fifteen-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain; he is exceptionally intelligent but ill-equipped to interpret daily life.

Valle says she is thrilled to remount the show and raise funds to bring the entire company and production across the country and perform at this year鈥檚 festival. 鈥淚t is about the importance of this wonderful play,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t is about the contribution this show offers to our national discussion about neurodiversity. It is also about offering our students this unique opportunity to perform on a national stage 鈥� and connecting them to the theatrical world outside of SLO County.鈥�

The KCACTF selects a few noteworthy productions from hundreds of schools across the United States western region, including Arizona, Central and Southern California, Guam, Hawaii, Southern Nevada, and Utah, to restage their shows for professional colleagues and student peers at the regional competition.

鈥淭his means the entire production, including sets, lighting, costumes, and properties (along with the cast and crew), will travel to the host city and the entire show is loaded into a performance space in a matter of hours. It is really an entire production in itself 鈥� and a bit of madness!鈥�

This is 51反差黑料 Theatre Arts鈥� fifth time representing the western region of the United States at KCACTF, beginning in 2014 when the original play pool 鈥�63 received five national awards. The Kennedy Center also honored the college鈥檚 productions of Refried Elvis (2016) with six awards and Ghost Ship (2019) with ten awards, including Outstanding Theatrical Creation. In Feb. 2021, bree valle received the Kennedy Center Gold Medallion, considered one of the top honors in theatre education. 

鈥淭he recognition we receive, both locally and nationally, is a gift for 51反差黑料 and our audience,鈥� said valle. 鈥淭his recognition attracts diverse students from across the country to SLO County鈥攖o our small but dynamic program. It attracts students keen to embrace a high caliber of training and a powerful sense of identity. Our goal has always been simple: to build empathy and to broaden the ways we consider our complex world. We hope our audiences leave the theatre with a renewed sense of wonder and a deeper understanding of what connects us to our shared humanity.鈥�
