Mainstage Show

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and 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.

“Strikes the perfect balance of the cerebral and the comic. Get on board – it’s a great ride.” – Houstonian Magazine

City Theater Associates produces five community theater productions per year. City Theater’s annual season runs from October – August and features both musicals and straight plays.

Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella is the new Broadway adaptation of the classic musical. This contemporary take on the classic tale features Rodgers & Hammerstein’s most beloved songs, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible” and “Ten Minutes Ago,” alongside an up-to-date, hilarious and romantic libretto by Tony Award nominee Douglas Carter Bean

“A timeless musical treasure! [Douglas Carter Beane’s] script crackles with sweetness and freshness.” – Mark Kennedy, The Associated Press

    The theatre performances here are consistently outstanding! I was so happy to see sold out audiences.... If you love the theatre, and haven't checked it out, please catch a performance! I'm guessing if you go to one, you will be back for more--like us!

      Had a wonderful time. The seats are great. Angled perfectly so everyone can see.

        If you love the arts, this is a must see stop for musicals plays and concerts An historic theater with quite a past fully restored for comfort yet holds the true feeling of the past of yesteryear.... What an asset to downtown Biddeford

          This was my first visit to this adorable little theater in Biddeford. We went to see the local production of Calendar Girls. I loved the wide wooden stairs, the interior has been well cared for. It's definitely an old building but it is beautiful inside. The actors did a fantastic job! I look forward to seeing more plays here.

            I have been here on many occasions. Some as viewer and at times a participant. This place has some great history. Lots of many different talents have taken this stage. If you ever get a chance to visit, ask working staff about the lady that peacefully haunts our theater!

              We bought our tickets online for a Sunday matinee. Ordering and seat selection was pretty straightforward. Will call pick-up was a volunteer on the stairs on the way up into the theater. The theater itself is charming and has a newer sound and lighting system.
