ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Theatre Department will present “The Mousetrap†by Agatha Christie at 8 p.m. Nov. 15, 16, 21, 22, 23 and 2 p.m. Nov. 17 and 24 on the main stage in the VanTrease Performing Arts Center for Education. The production is directed by ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½â€™s Theatre Coordinator Mark Frank.

“The Mousetrapâ€is considered to be one of the finest plays ever written and is filled with suspense. The classic British murder mystery has a plot that engages the audience the moment the curtain is raised. The original stage play premiered more than 60 years ago.

Snowed in and stranded by a snowdrift at a hotel, guests fear for their lives when Detective Sergeant Trotter arrives to tell them that a murderer is on the loose. When one of the hotel guests is killed, it’s obvious that the murderer is among them.

In true murder-mystery style, the guests re-enact the murder in order to discover the identity of the killer. Then a plot is hatched to set a trap.

For tickets, call (918) 595-7777 or purchase them at the VanTrease PACE ticket office.
