With four days left, it’s time to meet the faces bringing Christie’s enigmatic characters to life.
From the tormented protagonist to the mysterious stranger who upends his world, our cast is diving deep into the psychological layers of this gripping drama. Each actor brings a unique interpretation that adds depth and tension to the story.
Check out our Facebook page for some rehearsal snapshots. These performers are ready to keep you guessing. Our cast brings a lot of talent from some faces you’ve seen in our recent productions, new comers to the Liberace stage, as well as some who have taken time off from theater, but are now back doing what they love.
Tickets can be purchased ahead of time by clicking here, or at the door the night you come check out this thriller.
The countdown is on! In just five days, The Stranger opens at The West Allis Players—and we’re inviting you to step into the shadows of Agatha Christie’s psychological thriller.
Unlike her classic whodunits, The Stranger explores guilt, identity, and the haunting grip of the past. Our cast and crew have been hard at work crafting a world where suspense lingers in every line.

The Cliff Notes: Enid rejects her fiancé and marries an exciting stranger. They move to a remote country cottage — all terribly romantic until dark secrets begin revealing themselves and we realize that no one is really who they say they are.
