Agatha Christie’s masterpiece, "Murder on the Orient Express" arrives in

      CHAGRIN FALLS, OH – All aboard for mystery! Chagrin Valley Little
      Theatre opens the new year with Agatha Christie’s Murder on the
      Orient Express, adapted by Ken Ludwig. Performances will be at

      This 2017 adaptation of Christie’s suspenseful classic invites
      audiences to step aboard a luxurious train where mystery and
      intrigue unfold as the legendary detective Hercule Poirot tackles
      one of his most perplexing cases. When a murder is discovered,
      every passenger becomes a suspect. Poirot must use his brilliant
      deductive skills to unravel the tangled web of clues and deceit.
      Ken Ludwig, one of America’s most produced playwrights, captures
      the essence of Christie’s storytelling in this adaptation while
      adding his signature dose of humor.

      the previous two CVLT seasons) and produced by Kate Bernardo. The

      scenic painting by Mark Kobak, and costumes by Haley Whitman


      Following the Sunday matinee on Feb. 2, the director will present
      a talk entitled “Agatha and the Train,” revealing the history and
      lore behind the real Orient Express and the train's influence on
      fiction and film, including Christie's iconic novel.

      “JP” Whitman as Bouc, Mim Goloboff as Princess Dragomiroff,
