The Theatre Group At SBCC Presents MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS
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.
The Theatre Group at SBCC will continue the 75th anniversary season with Agatha Christie's mystery, MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, adapted by Ken Ludwig, directed by Katie Laris, March 2-19, 2022 in the Garvin Theatre.
Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen 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.
Ken Ludwig's clever adaptation of the Agatha Christie classic boasts all the glamour, intrigue and suspense of Dame Agatha's celebrated novel, with memorable characters, thrilling plot turns and a healthy dose of humor.
MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS will feature: Leesa Beck, Justin Davanzo, Emma-Jane Huerta, Dalina Klan, Haley Klan, Sanford Jackson, McKenna Kline, Will Muse, Mircea Oprea, Jenna Scanlon, Tiffany Story, Matthew Tavianini, Johnny Waaler and Raymond Wallenthin.
Performances will be March 2-19, in the Garvin Theatre on SBCC West Campus, 900 block of Cliff Dr. Thursday through Saturday @ 7:30pm, Sunday @ 2pm. Previews on March 2 & 3 @ 7:30pm. The Sunday, March 6, 2pm performance will be Live-captioned for the hearing-impaired. Tickets range from $18-26 with discounts for seniors and students and can be purchased online at www.theatregroupsbcc.com or by calling the Box Office at 805-965-5935.=
