Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap

Loop Players caught in a Mousetrap?

I know you got the announcement in your inbox, but pardon my words when I say, “So what, it bears repeating. The more publicity, the better.” Besides, this blog can reach out to more folks beyond the HWC circle. Without too much editing, here’s a reconstruction of Kathryn’s email:

Loop Players’ production of

Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap

Oct. 26 – Nov. 5

The English, Speech and Theatre Department’s Loop Players are excitedly preparing for the upcoming production of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap.  Below is a Press Release with a brief synopsis, dates and times, and admission prices.  Hope you can see the show!  If you do, please do not divulge the ending of this whodunit. 🙂

Fall, 2011, Loop Players production of The Mousetrap, by Agatha Christie

The author comes forth with another hit about a group of strangers stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm, one of whom is a murderer. The suspects include the newly married couple who run the house, and the suspicions that are in their minds nearly wreck their perfect marriage. Others are a spinster with a curious background, an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired Army major, a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift, and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. Into their midst comes a policeman, traveling on skis. He no sooner arrives, than the jurist is killed. Two down, and one to go. To get to the rationale of the murderer’s pattern, the policeman probes the background of everyone present, and rattles a lot of skeletons. Another famous Agatha Christie switch finish! Chalk up another superb intrigue for the foremost mystery writer of her time.

Two questions Kathryn:

1. Is the student discount valid for ANY student from ANY academic institution? I take it students would need to present ID’s at the time of purchase, right?
2. Do you want your email and number on this post. If not I can remove it ASAP.
