Dinner & a Show – Agatha Christie Double Bill: “Seaside” and “The Patient”

Ursinus College Theater, Seaside, The Patient

The Ursinus College Theater and Dance Department has again teamed up with The Collegeville Economic Development Corp. (CEDC) to offer another “Dinner & a Show” promotion.

Where & When

  • When: Thursday – Sunday, Oct. 31, 7:30 p.m., Nov. 1 & 2, 7:30 pm.
  • Sunday, Nov. 3, 2 p.m. – ASL Interpreted Performance

A priceless emerald necklace goes missing and everyone enjoying a beach holiday becomes a suspect in the one-act play, “Afternoon at the Seaside.” Will Inspector Foley catch his culprit? Nothing is quite as it seems in this imaginative mystery by the dame of detective fiction, Agatha Christie. In “The Patient,” after falling from a second-story balcony, Mrs. Wingfield, narrowly escaping death, is hospitalized and it is Inspector Cray’s job to investigate whether Mrs. Wingfield fell, jumped, or was pushed. Christie keeps audiences guessing in this mystery-thriller one act!

Each performance includes both “Afternoon at the Seaside” and The Patient.”
