SUMMARY:Murder on the Orient Express
DESCRIPTION:Agatha Christie’s\nMurder on the Orient Express\nAdapted for the stage by Ken Ludwig\nNovember 12\, 13\, & 14 at 7:30 PM\nNovember 15 at 2 PM\nDirected by Kalyn Everett\nWhen a snowdrift stops the Orient Express\, an American tycoon is discovered murdered in a locked compartment. Agatha Christie’s classic locked‑room mystery\, adapted by Tony-nominated playwright Ken Ludwig\, becomes a fast‑moving\, witty\, and theatrical whodunit. Balancing razor‑sharp plotting with buoyant comic energy\, Detective Hercule Poirot races to unmask a killer among a trainload of colorful suspects. \nLudwig’s comic twists lift the period glitz and moral dilemma into laugh‑out‑loud theatricality while preserving Christie’s ingenious plot. Expect elegant 1930’s style\, a brilliant detective\, an ensemble of flamboyant suspects\, and a crowd‑pleasing climax that will leave you guessing and grinning. Join us for an evening of suspense\, glamour\, intrigue\, and laughter. \n“A murder mystery with a wink—brisk\, witty\, and utterly satisfying.” — The Daily Herald \nTICKETS ON SALE NOW THROUGH THE MISHLER THEATRE BOX OFFICE!\nHave a group of ten or more? Call the ACT Office at 814-943-4357 any time to begin booking your discounted tickets! \n

SUMMARY:Something Rotten!
DESCRIPTION:Something Rotten!\nBook by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell\nMusic and Lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick\nApril 29 & 30\, May 1 at 7:30 PM\nMay 2 at 2 PM\nDirected by Scott Riner\nSomething Rotten! explodes onto stage as a madcap mashup of Shakespearean swagger and Broadway bombast. Set in Renaissance England\, two desperate brothers decide the only way to beat the Bard is to invent the “musical.” Chaos\, tap numbers\, and history-twisting humor ensue. \nExpect show-stopping ensemble numbers\, razor-sharp parody\, and a loveable underdog story that’s equal parts slapstick and heart. With larger-than-life characters and a chorus line that never quits\, this is the perfect night out for anyone who loves to laugh until they cry. \nBring your sense of humor and your loudest applause—this riotous romp rewrites history and\nreminds us that sometimes the best ideas are the ones that make the most glorious mess. Join us for uproarious and unforgettable Renaissance revelry. \n“A laugh‑a‑minute triumph—riotous\, clever\, and gloriously over‑the‑top.” — The Stage Review \nTICKETS ON SALE NOW AT THE MISHLER THEATRE BOX OFFICE!\nHave a group of ten or more?
