The B Street Theatre presents five performances of its most popular production ever, Around the World in 80 Days by Mark Brown. Runs today, February 11 to February 15, 2014.

B Street Theatre is taking its hit production of Around the World in 80 Days to India for two weeks. Join us for a very special engagement before it departs featuring the original B Street cast of Michael Stevenson, Amy Resnick, Greg Alexander, Elisabeth Nunziato and David Pierini.

Stampeding elephants! Raging typhoons! Runaway trains! Unabashedly slapstick! Hold onto your seats for the original amazing race! Join fearless adventurer Phileas Fogg and his faithful manservant as they race to beat the clock! Phileas Fogg has agreed to an outrageous wager that puts his fortune and his life at risk. With his resourceful servant Passepartout, Fogg sets out to circle the globe in an unheard-of 80 days. But his every step is dogged by a detective who thinks he's a robber on the run.
