Murder on the Orient Express at Racine Theatre Guild

Hop on a captivating, crime-solving ride with Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express running September 13 through 29, 2024 at the Racine Theatre Guild.

A blizzard strikes on a dark, stormy night, stranding a train on the tracks. Inside the luxury coach, a murder has occurred behind a locked door. But how? Renowned detective Hercule Poirot must investigate the treachery and scheming before the killer strikes again. A train full of suspects and a notebook’s worth of alibis, it’s a fast paced whodunnit that goes off the rails with glamour, intrigue, and plenty of sleuthing.
