AUDITIONS FOR AGATHA CHRISTIE’S MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS AT THEATRE 29 TOMORROW

Theatre 29 continues its 2021-22 season with an Agatha Christie murder mystery in January, and auditions are tomorrow! Arts & Entertainment Reporter Charlie Thomas tells you how you can get on the train…

Theatre 29 will hold open auditions for a new adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express on Monday, November 22nd at 6:00 p.m. on the Theatre 29 Main Stage (73637 Sullivan Road, Twentynine Palms). Multi-award-winning Director Kathryn Ferguson is looking for a cast of 5 men and 5 women over the age of 18, preferably.

From the mistress of the murder mystery, Agatha Christie, comes a new adaptation by multi-award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig (Noises Off, Lend Me A Tenor). It’s 1934. Snow is falling. And the Orient Express is filled to capacity. What starts as a luxurious journey through Europe becomes the scene of a murder in the blink of an eye. Just after midnight, the famous train is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift. When the isolated passengers discover a man stabbed to death in his room, they quickly become suspects as the one and only detective Hercule Poirot strives to identify the killer before the murderer strikes again. This clever and quick-witted adaptation will keep you asking, “Whodunit?”

All roles are open. A complete breakdown of the characters can be found on the Theatre 29 website at theatre29.org/auditions. If you are unable to attend the auditions on November 29th but would still like to be considered for the show, contact the director. COVID-19 VACCINATION IS REQUIRED. For more information, contact Director Kathryn Ferguson by e-mail at [email protected].

Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express will run weekends at Theatre 29 from January 14th through 30th with performances Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m.
