Welcome to Players Guild’s production of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap. As you settle in, I invite you to join me on this intimate journey into the darker corners of human nature. Here, every character offers a unique glimpse into life, trust, and the secrets we carry. Within these walls, you’ll find a world brimming with suspense, where even a kind heart may hide unsettling truths.The characters in this story resonate with our own struggles, revealing the dualities of love and vulnerability through their choices and actions. Fueling a fire of love and hate.
Let’s take a moment to embrace the wait; it’s often in those still and quiet times that we uncover the most profound revelations about ourselves.

A line in this production that has spoken to me has been:

“You feel that somebody you know so well might be a stranger. That’s what happens in a nightmare.”

I ask you, as you immerse yourself in this “nightmare,” to remember that we are all interconnected—we all matter to each of us seeking understanding and connection, even as we walk a precarious path.

As we dive into this mystery, we’ll confront themes that hit close to home: From the first bite of betrayal to the untended loose ends of our past and the question of identity. We’ll explore how the falsehoods we believe can lead to heartache or closure. Are we simply clones of our father figures, or do we have the courage to forge our own paths into the shadows?

This production is not just a story; it’s an invitation that I encourage you to reflect on your own experiences. Thank you for being here with us. I need your help to uncover the truth and make it out of The Mousetrap in our heads.
