Theater Breaking Through Barriers (TBTB) launches its 2015 season with a revival of Agatha Christie's rarely seen 1958 thriller THE UNEXPECTED GUEST, currently in preview prior to opening Sunday, April 19 at Theatre Row's Clurman Theatre (410 West 42nd Street) in Manhattan. Victoria Rauch-Lichterman directs the production for TBTB, the critically acclaimed theatre company dedicated to advancing artists with disabilities and changing the image of people with disabilities from dependence to independence. Off-Broadway performances run through
May 10. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

In THE UNEXPECTED GUEST, on a dark and foggy evening a lost stranger seeks refuge in a nearby country estate only to discover that he has stumbled onto the scene of a murder. Agatha Christie's delicious tour-de-force features a dizzying array of twists and turns. Audiences are truly kept guessing until the very end.

The cast features Scott Barton, Melanie Boland, Christopher Imbrosciano, Anthony Lopez, Lawrence Merritt, Anne Marie Morelli, Pamela Sabaugh (The Goldman Project), David Rosar Stearns, and Nicholas Viselli.

The revival has set and lighting design by Bert Scott; costume design by Amanda Jenks; sound design by Sam Crawford; props by Charles Bowden. Production Manager is Sherri Kotimsky and Production Stage Manager is Kate Croasdale.

THE UNEXPECTED GUEST represents the final work of TBTB's Founding Artistic Director Ike Schambelan, who passed away on February 3, 2015. Agatha Christie's THE UNEXPECTED GUEST runs at Theatre Row's Clurman Theatre (410 West 42nd Street, between 9th and 10th Avenues), through May 10. Tickets are $45.
