Mason Community Players Present an Agatha Christie Classic, THE MOUSETRAP

Mason Community Players is the oldest continually operating community theater organization in Warren County, OH. The group operates and performs at the Mason Community Playhouse, located at 5529 Mason Rd. in Mason, OH. Since its creation in 1973, the Mason Community Players has brought more than 120 productions and 30 original musical reviews to audiences in Mason, Ohio. More importantly, the group has become a family for the community, involving people of all ages on stage, backstage, and as spectators.

The Mousetrap premiered in London in 1952 and remains to this day the longest running play in the world, despite having to close briefly from 2020 to 2021. It was originally written by Agatha Christie as a birthday present for Queen Mary. A classic whodunit mystery, join seven strangers as they get stranded together and become completely adrift when a murder is revealed. When a police detective arrives, see if you can figure out the murderer before the unsuspecting victims.

With over 29,500 performances to date, this play is not one to be missed. Director Susan Berger and Producer Robert Terry welcome you to the Mason Community Playhouse this November 15, 16, 21, 22 and 23 at 8 pm and Sunday, November 17 at 2 pm for a story crafted by the Queen of Mystery herself. With a cast that celebrates members both old and new, they will spin a tale of murder that will leave you dazzled.

That wraps up the 2024 Season for Mason Community Players. Join us in 2025 for our season of fear and cheer! Tickets are now available for the upcoming 2025 season by leaving a message at 513-398-7804 or visiting the website, www.MasonPlayers.org.
