Deathtrap
by Ira Levin
Directed By Lissa Satterfield

Comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a "dry" spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college. Sidney offers to collaborate with the student, an idea which the younger man quickly accepts. Suspense mounts as the plot begins to twist and turn with such devilish cleverness that you will be held enthralled until the final, startling moment of the play.

The sequel to the international hit musical Nunsense takes place approximately six weeks after the first "benefit performance."

Since their first time out was such a success, they have decided that they should stick to their successful variety show formula. This time they are forced to work around the set dressing of The Mikado!
