Ken Ludwig's clever adaptation of the Agatha Christie classic boasts all the glamour, intrigue and suspense of Dame Agatha's celebrated novel, with a healthy dose of humor to quicken the pace. Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. The passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.
Join us on June 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, and 12 for Murder On the Orient Express at Southwest Playhouse, Sixth and Nowahy.
This is the final show for our 55th Season at Southwest Playhouse, Inc.

“The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.” (MTI)
