DEATHTRAP Opens This Friday At Standing Ovation Theater

Standing Ovation Theatre will open its production of Ira Levin’s DEATHTRAP this Friday, October 10, directed by Jeff Merriman, for a run through Sunday, October 19 at the company’s home at 17380 El Camino in Webster.

A masterclass in suspense and dark humor, DEATHTRAP centers on a once-successful playwright who discovers a brilliant script written by one of his students. Desperate to regain his fame, he concocts a plan to steal the play—a decision that sets off a chain of shocking twists and turns where nothing is what it seems.

With its razor-sharp dialogue, clever plotting, and surprising reversals, DEATHTRAP remains one of Broadway’s longest-running thrillers, blending laughter and fear in equal measure.

Standing Ovation Theatre will also host a New Year’s Masquerade Gala and has announced its 2026 season lineup, with details available on the company’s Facebook page and at standingovation.org.
