    KordaZone Theatre's Murder On The Orient Express

    Talking with Director Dean Valentino and Brandon Chappus (Hercule Poirot) about the upcoming production of Ken Ludwig’s adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel Murder on the Orient Express. I am really excited to see this cast of 12 wonderful performers bring this larger than life murder mystery to the stage at the Kordazone Theatre in Windsor, Ontario Canada. Part of my excitement is that I have not read this book or seen any productions. But I did catch a snippet of a rehearsal and it looks like it will be great! Opening Night is Friday, March 28th, 2025 at 8:00pm It will play March 29, 30, April 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12th. Thursday, April 3 at 8:00pm will be a Pay-what-you-can performance.
