A First Lady’s Guide to
Killing the President

The Hilarious Comedy
Written by Atlanta’s own Topher Payne is Back
with a Brand New Production

Directed by Matthew Busch

A First Lady’s Guide to Killing the President, the fast-paced, laugh-out-loud comedy by Atlanta playwright Topher Payne is coming to Out of Box Theatre for a two week run May 8–17, 2026 at Georgia Ensemble Theatre in Sandy Springs.

Set aboard a speeding presidential train in 1923, the play follows First Lady Florence Harding as she navigates scandal, secrets, and a husband who may be more liability than leader. As the train barrels forward, so does the chaos — complete with blackmailing mistresses, political scheming, and one very ill-tempered pet squirrel. The result is a sharp, high-energy farce that blends history, satire, and absurdity into an evening of nonstop comedy.

Process Theatre’s 2025 World Premiere was a hit with critics and audiences alike, and we can’t wait to see what our friends at Out of Box come up with on this crazy train!

Detroit '67

by Dominique Morisseau

Directed by Rodney Johnson

In 1967 Detroit, Motown music is getting the party started, and Chelle and her brother Lank are making ends meet by turning their basement into an after-hours joint. But when a mysterious woman finds her way into their lives, the siblings clash over much more than the family business. As their pent-up feelings erupt, so does their city, and they find themselves caught in the middle of the '67 riots.

Agatha Christie’s ultimate whodunit mystery is now an elegant comedic thriller!

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. Join us for this stylish, suspenseful murder mystery about an unlikely cast of potential suspects – including a colonel, a princess and a countess, all with alibis – trapped aboard the luxurious Orient Express.
