The production is sponsored by Pilot Company, The Schubert Foundation, Arts & Culture Alliance, Knox County Tourism Consortium, Tennessee Arts Commission, Knox County Tennessee, and The Department of the Treasury. Media sponsors are Knoxville News Sentinel, WUOT, WBIR, East Tennessee PBS and WUTK. 

The production contains all the glamour, intrigue, and suspense of Christie’s novel, with a healthy dose of humor to quicken the pace.  Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks.  The luxurious train is surprisingly full for this time of year, but by morning there is one less passenger.  An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed numerous times, 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 – before he or she can strike again.

Agatha Christie (1890-1976) is the author not only of “The Mousetrap,” the longest running stage production in history, but also “Witness for the Prosecution” and “And Then There Were None,” to name but a few of her greatest stage successes. Her novels have sold more than 2 billion copies around the world, and she is only outsold by the Bible and Shakespeare.

Adaptor Ken Ludwig has had six shows on Broadway, seven in London's West End, and many of his works have become a standard part of the American repertoire. His 28 plays and musicals have been performed in over 30 countries in more than 20 languages and are produced throughout the United States every night of the year.
