Board the exotic and mysterious Orient Express as it takes off into the opulence and grandeur of the 1930s. Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of year, but by the morning, it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, 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 they decide to strike again. Join Poirot as he battles the clock to figure out “whodunit” in this sleek, stylish, and surprisingly comedic murder mystery.
All roles are available: Hercule Poirot (Male, 40-65), Monsieur Bouc (Male, 40-55), Mary Debenham (Female, 25-30), Hector Macqueen (Male, 26-35), Michel the Conductor/Head Waiter (Male, 35-45), Princess Dragomiroff (Female, 60-80), Greta Ohlsson (Female, 20-40), Countess Andrenyi (Female, 20-40), Helen Hubbard (Female, 45-60), Colonel Arbuthnot/Samuel Ratchett (Male, 35-60). Ages given are playable ages, actors need not specifically fit the given age to audition. Tacoma Little Theatre practices color-conscious casting and encourages everyone to attend.
Auditioners are asked to prepare one comedic or dramatic monologue, no longer than 90 seconds.
