Centenary Stage Co. to Present DEATHTRAP, 10/4-20
One of the most popular successes in Broadway history, a theatrical triumph with gasp-inducing thrills and spontaneous laughter, Ira Levin's Deathtrap is a chilling murder-mystery running October 4- 20 at The Centenary Stage Company in The David and Carol Lackland Center.
Deathtrap is a play within a play following the struggles of Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers battling a crippling dry spell. Sidney has experienced a string of flops and a shortage of funds when suddenly help seems to come from out of nowhere. He receives a script in the mail from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college-a thriller Sidney recognizes as a potential Broadway hit. What happens next is the stuff of Deathtrap. Audiences will be held spellbound to the very end. Talkinbroadway.com describes Deathtrap as "... an enormously appealing play that combines comedy with mystery, ridiculing the conventions of the thriller while reveling in them."
Tickets for Deathtrap range from $25 to $27.50 with discounts for students and seniors. Every Thursday night is "Family Night," which offers a 2-for-1 rush ticket price when purchased at the door. Performance times are Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. There are 2 p.m. matinées Wednesdays October 9th and 16th and for the Preview Performance on Friday, October 4th at 2 p.m. Deathtrap is sponsored by Bea McNally's Irish Pub, Old Souk Trading Company, and Heath Village Retirement Community.
Tickets may be purchased online at www.centenarystageco.org, at the CSC Box Office located in the David and Carol Lackland Center at 715 Grand Ave in Hackettstown, or by calling 908-979-0900. The Box Office is open 1-5 PM Monday through Friday, and 2 hours prior to performance times.
