‘Murder on the 518’ brings live theatre back to Grafton High

For three days, the stage at Grafton High School will be transformed into an ill-fated westbound train. Its destination: Murder.

Grafton High Theatre presents “Murder on the 518,” its first live fall play since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic..

“Red-eye travelers on the westbound 518 are in for a surprise when first one passenger, and then another, mysteriously drop dead right before their eyes — and just as the train is halted by a rock slide in an isolated canyon.  Because the pair appears to have been poisoned, anyone and everyone in the train dining car is a suspect!

“Unable to call for help, the eccentric passengers — including two newlyweds, an astronomy professor, a sports recruiter, a CEO, a movie star, an aspiring musician, and others — try to work together with the waitstaff to find the murderer before they reach their destination and the killer escapes for good!  Unfortunately, not everything (or everyone) is as it seems.”

“Murder on the 518,” opens Friday, November 19 , followed by shows at 7 p.m., Saturday, November 20 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, November 21 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are sold in advance through this link.
