Pegasus Theatre presents Death Express!
Pegasus Theatre presents the Living Black & White™ Harry Hunsacker adventure, Death Express! at the Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts from December 29, 2023, through January 21, 2024.
It’s “All Aboard!” for murder in Death Express! by Kurt Kleinmann. The action occurs on the Trans-Continental Express from Los Angeles to New York. Inept but endearing detective Harry Hunsacker and his paid-by-the-hour friend and assistant, Nigel Grouse (along with Lt. Foster of the real police) find themselves trapped on a train headed for murder! Who is the vicious killer determined to slay everyone on board the train? Could it be the Conductor? What about the European starlet, Valentina Benet? Perhaps the murder-mystery novelist is trying out crimes for her new book? And who is the mysterious Miss. Wainwright? Murder and mayhem abound in this delightful tribute to old black-and-white movies.
New Year’s Eve will be especially festive! In addition to the show, there will be champagne and cupcakes after the show, and plenty of funny hats and noisemakers to ring in the New Year!
For the past 38 years, Pegasus Theatre has astonished and delighted audiences with its trademarked Living Black & White™ technique. Everything is presented in black, white, and shades of gray to mimic the look of an old black-and-white film come to life on stage. You won’t believe your eyes, especially when the Lady In Red (Stephanie Felton) makes her appearance!
Broadway veteran (A Chorus Line) Michael Serrecchia directs a cast that includes Ben Bryant as Nigel Grouse, Chad Cline as Lt. Foster, and Scott Nixon as Harry Hunsacker. Rounding out the cast are, Mario Aguirre IV, Alex Moore, Liv Murphy, Madison Murrah, Leslie Patrick, Sheila D. Rose, Jake Shanahan, and Michael Speck. The increasingly important Understudies are Jared Culpepper, Salvador Elias, Dayna Fries, Kellie Monahan-McElroy, and D. Aidan Wright.
A performance schedule with times and ticket prices follows. Ticket prices include a mandatory Eisemann Center building maintenance fee.
This project is funded, in part, by the City of Richardson through the City of Richardson Arts Commission.
