The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
What’s the Show About?
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a deeply moving and visually stunning play adapted from Mark Haddon’s acclaimed novel. The story centers on Christopher Boone, a 15-year-old boy who is exceptionally gifted in mathematics but struggles to navigate social interactions and everyday life. Christopher lives in Swindon, England, with his father, and his world is carefully structured and predictable; until one night, he discovers his neighbor’s dog, Wellington, has been killed.
Determined to solve the mystery of who killed Wellington, Christopher embarks on an investigation that takes him far beyond his comfort zone. Along the way, he uncovers unexpected truths about his family, faces challenges that test his courage, and learns to navigate a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming. The play is as much about Christopher’s inner journey of self-discovery as it is about the mystery he’s trying to solve.
Why It’s Special
What makes this show truly unique is its innovative storytelling. The production uses stunning visuals, lighting, and sound design to bring Christopher’s perspective to life, immersing the audience in his extraordinary mind. It’s a story about love, trust, and the power of seeing the world differently, told with humor, heart, and a touch of mystery.
Whether you’re drawn to the compelling characters, the emotional depth, or the dazzling stagecraft, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a theatrical experience that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.

Volunteer in the Arts
St. Luke’s is committed to the arts and has many events throughout the year; from concerts at each campus to musicals in the Poteet Theatre. For more information on ways to serve in the Arts at St. Luke’s, contact Logan Fish.
Volunteers are needed at every arts event; from serving as greeters and ushers to box office and concession stand help, there are a number of ways that you and your family can serve together in the arts.
Each show that is performed needs special props to help tell the story. The Poteet Theatre has a vast inventory of props, but a team of volunteers works to pull these props together for each show.
Volunteers are needed to help create the set for each play or musical in the Poteet Theatre. If you are proficient in woodworking, or a good painter, your skills can be used in this ministry area.
A musical is not complete without sound and lighting. Volunteers are needed for each event, so if you have a passion for lighting or sound engineering, we have a place for you. Training is provided.

History of Poteet Theatre
The idea for this performance space came back in 1995 when our first theatre director, Jason Johnston, descended the narthex steps toward the choir room for his thousandth time. He looked at what was then the Youth Lounge, but he saw something different. He saw the elements necessary to design a theatre: a lobby, a stage, a tech booth, rehearsal spaces, and of course a concession stand!
In March of 1999, while the theatre was still being finished, the young theatre troupe began rehearsals for Barefoot in the Park, directed by David Palmer. In September of 1999, Cindy Poteet directed Forever Plaid. Unfortunately, after a long battle with cancer, Cindy passed away. A fundraising effort enabled the completion of the theatre, and a dedication performance titled Tribute was held on March 3, 2001 in honor of our theatre’s namesake. Selections from shows involving Cindy were performed that night; Charlie Brown, Godspell, Forever Plaid, and Nunsense. That night they especially enjoyed video footage of Cindy as Mother Superior in Nunsense. She was known for her humor, wit, and loving nature.
Over the past 20 years the Poteet Theatre has produced numerous critically acclaimed shows providing quality, family entertainment to the St. Luke’s congregation and the surrounding Oklahoma City community.
Poteet Theatre 20th Anniversary
St. Luke’s celebrated the 20th anniversary of Poteet Theatre and we honor Cindy Poteet, the director for whom the theatre was named. After Cindy passed away from cancer, a fundraising effort led to the completion of the Poteet theatre and a dedication performance entitled “Tribute” was held on March 3, 2001 in honor of our theatre’s namesake. Cindy was known for her humor, wit, and loving nature. For over 20 years, the Poteet Theatre has produced numerous critically acclaimed shows providing quality, family entertainment to the St. Luke’s congregation and the surrounding OKC community.
