Agatha Christie's THE MOUSETRAP Comes to The Barnstormers in August

The Barnstormers Theatre will present The Mousetrap, Agatha Christie’s classic murder mystery, from August 7–16. Directed by Dori A. Robinson, the production marks the fourth show of the company’s milestone 95th season.

Artistic Director Jordan Ahnquist calls The Mousetrap “the iconic Agatha Christie murder mystery,” adding: “It’s a classic for a reason, and Director Dori Robinson has an incredible vision for this production.”

A staple of the genre, The Mousetrap has kept audiences guessing for over 70 years. It holds the record as the longest-running West End production and the longest-running play in the world. On March 19, 2025, it celebrated its 30,000th performance at London’s St. Martin’s Theatre.

Set during a snowstorm at a remote English guesthouse, the suspense unfolds as seven strangers are trapped together with a murderer in their midst. When a police sergeant arrives with a warning, secrets are revealed and suspicions mount—leading to a shocking conclusion that has captivated millions.
