DEATHTRAP Opens This Friday At Standing Ovation Theater
Jeff Merriman directs Ira Levin’s classic thriller in Webster.
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.
