THE MOUSETRAP Comes To Hanover Little Theatre

A group of strangers is stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm, one of whom is a murderer. That's the outline of The Mousetrap, one of Agatha Christie's best-known mysteries and the third show in Hanover Little Theatre's 70th season.

The suspects include the newly married couple who run the house, a spinster with a curious background, an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired Army major, a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift, and an attorney who makes life miserable for everyone. Into their midst comes a policeman, traveling on skis.

Quinton Laughman will direct the show, which will have 8 p.m. performances on March 29-30 and April 4-6. There will be 2 p.m. matinees on March 31 and April 7. A reception, sponsored by Giant Foods, will follow the Opening Night performance.

Tickets are on sale now for the show. Online ticket sales will be available around the clock. Members can reserve their seats today. You can also call 717-637-5297 to reserve tickets or take advantage of our box office hours.

Sommer & O'Donnell - Attorneys at Law as well as an anonymous patron will match that donation, generating $6 for every person attending March 30.
