Agatha Christie’s ‘Murder On The Orient Express’ is on stage, playing now through Sunday, Nov. 28 at the East Sonora location of Sierra Repertory Theatre, 13891 Mono Way.

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is filled to capacity, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. Isolated, with a killer on the loose, Detective Hercule Poirot must identify the murderer before he or she decides to strike again. Ken Ludwig’s clever adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express boasts all the glamour, intrigue, and suspense of Dame Agatha’s celebrated novel, with a healthy dose of humor to quicken the pace.

Performances are Wednesdays through Sundays, though there is no performance on Thursday, Nov. 25, Thanksgiving Day.

Attendees are encouraged to come early to enjoy The Sidecar Bar; now serving wine, beer, cider, and soft drinks in this new outdoor bar before the performance and at intermission.
