Fifteen-year-old Christopher has an extraordinary brain: he is exceptional at mathematics, but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched and he distrusts strangers. Now it is seven minutes after midnight and Christopher stands beside his neighbor’s dead dog, Wellington, who has been speared with a garden fork. Finding himself under suspicion, Christopher is determined to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington, and he carefully records each fact of the crime. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a thrilling journey that upturns his world.

The Apple Tree

March 23–26*

Glaize Studio Theatre

Tickets $20

Music, lyrics and book by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick

Additional book material by Jerome Coppersmith

The Apple Tree is an evening of three musical miniatures written by the brilliant songwriting team behind Fiddler on the Roof and She Loves Me. “The Diary of Adam and Eve” is a quirky, touching spin on the tale of the Bible’s first couple, adapted from Mark Twain’s Extracts from Adam’s Diary. “The Lady or the Tiger?” is a rock-and-roll fable set in a mythical barbarian kingdom, which explores the fickleness of love. “Passionella” is based on Jules Feiffer's offbeat Cinderella-story about a chimney sweep whose dreams of being a "glamorous movie star" nearly sabotage her one chance for true love.
