Orient Express- Passeport

A Spirited Itinerary

In anticipation of the Grand Rapids Players upcoming production, you are invited to play the Orient Express - Passeport:  Spirited Itinerary, an experience to stamp your own passport by visiting six area establishments of hospitality and try a drink inspired by one of the passengers aboard the famed train.

 

How to Play

1. Get a Passport. (available around town at the six locations or download here, print, and fold into quarters.)

2. Visit the six locations in any order at your leisure- from January 31-March 2, 2025. Stamp your passport with the unique stamp- while you’re there, you may choose to order a special drink inspired by one of the story’s infamous characters! (No purchase is necessary to stamp your passport.)

3. Turn in your passport (all six locations respectively stamped) at the door of any of our six performances Feb 21-Mar 2, or snap a photo of the open, completed passport and send to info@grplayers.com.

4. We hope you will come to see a performance of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express adapted for the stage by Ken Ludwig - performed by Grand Rapids Players at the Reif Center Feb 21-Mar 2. Details at www.grplayers.com/orientexpress.

5. A winner of a $100 gift card to Wildflower Bookshop will be drawn from the completed passports on March 2, and contacted by phone or email shortly after.
