Photo Flash: TBTB Celebrates Opening of Agatha Christie's THE UNEXPECTED GUEST

Apr. 20, 2015  

Theater Breaking Through Barriers (TBTB) just celebrated the opening night of its revival of Agatha Christie's The Unexpected Guest - running through May 10 at Theatre Row (410 West 42nd Street) - and honored the 35-year legacy of its late founding Artistic Director Ike Schambelan. Scroll down for photos!

Actor and interim Artistic Director Nicholas Viselli toasted Schambelan with the cast, director Victoria Rauch-Lichterman, TBTB Board of Directors and invited guests.

In THE UNEXPECTED GUEST, on a dark and foggy evening a lost stranger seeks refuge in a nearby country estate only to discover that he has stumbled onto the scene of a murder. Agatha Christie's delicious tour-de-force features a dizzying array of twists and turns. Audiences are truly kept guessing until the very end.

The cast features Scott Barton, Melanie Boland, Christopher Imbrosciano, Anthony Lopez, Lawrence Merritt, Anne Marie Morelli, Pamela Sabaugh (The Goldman Project), David Rosar Stearns, and Nicholas Viselli.

The revival has set and lighting design by Bert Scott; costume design by Amanda Jenks; sound design by Sam Crawford; props by Charles Bowden. Production Manager is Sherri Kotimsky and Production Stage Manager is Kate Croasdale.
