The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point is set to present Agatha Christie's renowned murder mystery play, "The Mousetrap," at the Jenkins Theatre in the Noel Fine Arts Center. The performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, November 15-16, and Thursday through Saturday, November 21-23. Additionally, matinee shows will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, November 17, and Saturday, November 23.
Tickets for the event are priced at $30 for adults, $27 for seniors and UW-Stevens Point faculty and staff, and $19 for youth. They can be purchased online at tickets.uwsp.edu, by phone at 715-346-4100, or in person at the Information and Tickets Office located in the Dreyfus University Center.
"The Mousetrap" has been performed over 29,000 times since its debut in London's West End in 1952. Originally conceived as a short radio play for Queen Mary in 1947, it combines intrigue with humor and unexpected plot twists.
Professor Tyler Marchant, who is directing the production, commented on Christie's work: "Agatha Christie is the master of the murder mystery, and audience members will enjoy the whodunit nature of the story." He encourages attendees to engage with the narrative actively: "There is something delightful about settling into a story where you see the characters are trapped where they are, cut off from others, and the threat is real," said Marchant.
