Agatha Christie’s Murder On The Orient Express
September 21 – October 8
Directed by Eric Jordan
CLICK HERE FOR THEATRE REVIEW >>

by Agatha Christie
Adapted by Ken Ludwig
Presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

The exotic Orient Express is about to go off the rails.  Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks with a train full of remarkable suspects and an alibi for each one. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again. So wax your mustache and hold onto your passport for what has now become the most highly produced comedy-mystery in the world.

What The Constitution Means To Me
October 26 – November 5
Directed by Christopher Bellis

by Heidi Schreck

Playwright Heidi Schreck’s boundary-breaking play breathes new life into our Constitution and imagines how it will shape the next generation of Americans. Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful and achingly human new play, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives.

Audition Dates September 24 & 25, 2023 – Click here for audition details >>

By Charles Dickens
Adapted for the stage by Michael Wilson

This theatrical and spirited version puts the phantasmagoric qualities of Charles Dickens’ classic tale center stage.  A swirling, dancing chorus of ghosts that weave through this uplifting holiday story of redemption, magic, and hope.  This version has been performed for almost a million people over the years and the New York Times heralds it as “…rousing and crowd pleasing”.  The Hartford Courant says “the adaptation of Dickens’ classic tale of Ebeneezer Scrooge distills the essence of the holiday spirit in a series of sights, sounds and splendors that all but guarantee audiences leave bursting with a feeling of Christmas”.
