"Everyone has bad thoughts. It’s how we act on them that counts."

Adapted from Paula Hawkins’ best-selling novel, The Girl on the Train is a gripping psychological thriller that keeps audiences guessing until the final moments.

When Rachel Watson witnesses something shocking, her curiosity quickly spirals into obsession. As she becomes entangled in a missing person investigation, the line between memory and imagination becomes blurred.

How much can she trust the people in her life? What about the ones she’s been watching? And most of all… can she trust herself?

With twists at every turn, this dark and atmospheric story explores memory, identity, and the fine line between truth and illusion. If you love compelling drama, sharp storytelling and edge-of-your-seat suspense, this is not to be missed.

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
