What happens when a snowstorm traps seven strangers—and one of them is a murderer? In a remote English guesthouse, secrets swirl and suspicion runs high in this classic whodunit from the queen of mystery, Agatha Christie. With everyone a suspect and no one above suspicion, the guests must unravel the mystery before the murderer strikes again. With clever twists, eccentric characters, and a deliciously tense “locked room” setting, The Mousetrap is the perfect night out for fans of Midsomer Murders, Death in Paradise, and Poirot. Settle in. Someone won’t make it to curtain call.

Note: The Mousetrap is presented in the Studio Theatre.

A preshow talk is offered in the West Lobby 30 minutes prior to curtain.
