Murder on the Orient Express
January 20 – February 18, 2023
All aboard the Orient Express as it journeys through 1930s Europe. Surprisingly full for this time of year, the luxurious train halts to a stop just after midnight, one passenger fewer. Locked in from the inside, an American tycoon is found dead. Secluded by snowdrift on the train tracks, the larger-than-life characters must rely on detective Hercule Poirot as he races to identify the killer before they strike again. Agatha Christie’s plot-twist masterpiece will keep you guessing, “Whodunit?”
Running Time: 2 HOURS
