Weekend Top 5

The Henrico Theatre Company will present Agatha Christie’s “Murder On The Orient Express” at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen Sept. 13-14 at 7 p.m. and Sept. 15 at 3 p.m. Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. By morning an American tycoon lies dead in his apartment. Isolated 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. The show continues the next two weekends. Tickets are $10 to $12. For details, call 261-ARTS or visit artsglenallen.com.

River City Community Players will present “The Sunshine Boys” at Gayton Kirk Presbyterian Church, 11421 Gayton Road, Sept. 13 at 7:30 p.m. and Sept. 14 at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Al and Willie as “Lewis and Clark” were top-billed vaudevillians for over 40 years. Now they aren’t even speaking. When CBS requests them for a “History of Comedy” retrospective, a grudging reunion brings the two back together, along with a flood of memories, miseries and laughs. Admission to the first two performances (Sept. 13 at 7:30 p.m. and Sept. 14 at 2:30 p.m.) is pay-what-you-can. Reservations can be made by emailing rccppresents@gmail.com or phoning (804) 554-0595. The remaining performances are $15; tickets can be purchased online. The show concludes next weekend. For details, visit rivercitycommunityplayers.com.
