SPECIAL PERFORMANCES

  • SENSORY INFORMED & CAPTIONED PERFORMANCE October 10 2026 - 1:30 pm

    SENSORY INFORMED PERFORMANCE

    A Sensory Informed performance is like a Relaxed Experience in that it offers an accessible option to audience members who may benefit from a more relaxed environment in the theatre or those who may have not normally felt comfortable attending a live performance. This may be ideal for people with sensory concerns, autism spectrum disorders, learning disorders, dementia, families with babies or younger children, or those that may need to be able to leave the theatre frequently during the performance. It is a “no shushing” performance that allows our audience members to be themselves!

    OPEN AND CLOSED CAPTIONED PERFORMANCE 

    Closed Captions use real-time captions to represent spoken dialogue and other important audio elements during the show through a personal captioning device (personal phone or a Citadel iPad available in the lobby).

    We offer both options to our patrons for our Captioned performances.

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS

September 19 - October 11, 2026

By Agatha Christie Adapted for the stage by Ken Ludwig Directed by Kelly Thornton Produced in Partnership with Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre (Winnipeg)

Agatha Christie’s greatest literary whodunnit comes to the stage. Detective Hercule Poirot has boarded the luxurious Orient Express along with a cabin full of mysterious characters from the beautiful Countess and boastful Mrs. Hubbard to the brash Colonel Arbuthnot and aristocratic Princess Dragomiroff. After a shocking murder in the night, the legendary detective must use his keen eye and attention for detail to gather the evidence and solve the case to catch the murderer in their midst. Along the way he uncovers secrets, clues, motives and hidden identities in this story of revenge and justice.

Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
