When Gladys was eight years old, she signed a blood oath with her imaginary friend, Pepper, that if she ever became old and boring, Pepper (a sexy, bad-ass international assassin) would come and rescue her.  Now, Gladys is creeping on 40 and has indeed become boring. Naturally, Pepper returns and convinces Gladys she too can become a bad-ass assassin.  Hilarious complications ensue as the two work to spice up Gladys’ life.

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS
Beechmont Players Inc.
July 28-Aug. 5
Anderson Center [Anderson Township]

Directed by Jim Waldfogle
Produced by Katherine Anderson & Dan Cohen

Cast: Gary Glass as Hercule Poirot, Kent Wramplemeier as Monsieur. Bouc, Meghan Moore as Mary Debenham, Jay Gossett as Hector MacQueen, Susan Schapiro as Princess Dragomiroff, Sandy Schlueter as Greta Ohlsson, Katherine Anderson as Countess Andrenyi, Trisha Cooper as Helen Hubbard, Nick Dunker as Col.

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight 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 – in case he or she decides to strike again.
