Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight 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.

Theatre Arlington is incredibly grateful to the Arlington Elks Lodge #2114 for their donation as show sponsor to make this epic mystery come to life. With the message of “Elks Care, Elks Share,” #2114 is a truly wonderful sponsor who believes deeply in Theatre Arlington’s mission to present superior, diverse artistic experiences through performance, production, and education.

Bryan Stevenson and Executive Producer Steven D. Morris helm this production in a co-director tour de force. Featuring DFW favorite stage professionals including David Coffee, Debbie Brown and Shannon McGrann, Theatre Arlington also welcomes back Randy Pearlman, Joseph Tully and Olivia Cinquepalmi – as well as some brand new faces with Adia Best and Kalumbu Tshibangu. Natalie Hinds, Mason Bowling, Daniel Ruelas and Luke Longacre round out this stellar cast, supported by resident designers Hope Cox and Ryan Simón.

Group Ticket rates for the show are available for parties of 10 or more.
