Rachel Watson longs for a different life. Her only escape is in the glimpse of the perfectly happy suburban couple she views through the train window on her daily London commute. Their life–as she sees it–is perfect. Not unlike the life she so recently lost… 

When Rachel learns that the woman she’s been secretly watching has suddenly disappeared, she finds herself as first a witness and then a suspect.  Soon she is deeply entangled in not only the investigation, but a mystery that will force her to face revelations she never could have anticipated. Based on the best-selling novel by Paula Hawkins and DreamWorks film by the same title, THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN will leave audiences on the edge of their seat until the final moments.  

Please note, this production features explicit language, graphic conversations about adult themes, portrayal of domestic abuse and violence against women, mention of child endangerment and death, and dramatic representation of substance abuse. Recommended for ages 16 and up.

Presented by Black Dirt Theater

• Comedy
• Musical

Black Dirt Theater is excited to bring the critically acclaimed musical, “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change,” to life for our annual dinner theater production.

This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as “the relationship.” Through sketches and songs, Act I explores the journey from dating and waiting to love and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This hilarious revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask, “Say, what are you doing Saturday night?”
