All Aboard... The Next Dinner Theatre Season!


Aspen Crossing Theatre (ACT) is an intimate evening including an original show and a delectable three course served dinner  featuring Aspen Crossing’s famous Prime Rib! The performances and dinners take place in an authentic 1887 Pullman train car.  All the shows revolve around the train in a beautiful rural setting located only 40 minutes southeast of Calgary on Hwy 24.

The fourth season of Aspen Crossing Theatre begins Sept 19 with The Perils of Pauline.  Set in 1935, the murder mystery show takes place as a movie crew arrives to film one of the first talking pictures.

When I  asked Gail Whiteford, Artistic Director for Aspen Crossing Theatre, she said,“I think people are really going to have a good time at our season premier, “The Perils of Pauline,”.  It is a very interactive murder mystery comedy.  “The actors are from the local community and Calgary and love to play with those audience members who want to play with us.” During the evening the audience will witness a series of unfortunate events, which will lead to an untimely death or two. Audience members will play the role of ‘detective’ and solve the crime,” explains Whiteford,.

“People really enjoy the authentic and cozy environment of the dining car,” said Donna Biggar, manager of Aspen Crossing. “The dining car is so unique and elegant, not to mention equipped with a choice menu. The rail car can hold an audience of fewer than 40. So people need to be sure they book their tickets in advance.”


Aspen Crossing Theatre’s fourth season starts this Sept. and wraps up Mar. of 2013. The season also includes:  The Perils of Pauline, a mystery comedy; Loco Motive, a thriller; Troop Train, a Remembrance day drama; Rudolph Express, a Christmas murder mystery comedy; Love in Training, a Valentine’s day comedy and Emerald Engine, a St. Patrick's day murder mystery comedy. There is something for everyone’s tastes this season at Aspen Crossing Theatre.

Tickets are $65-75, including dinner and show. Visit www.aspencrossing.com or call 1(866)440-3500 for more information, tickets, or location.
