Everyone needs to have dreams, goals and a plan to make
it all happen.
Add jealousy, a pinch of desperation, a tired marriage and a
touch of artist flair...welcome to "Deathtrap."

Director Dennis Wemm's cast captures the magic of the play
to such a degree, at times the audience may be questioning
if "the scene" is part of the play, a dream, or the playwright working out the lines?
Ira Levin's award-winning play, Deathtrap, will be presented three
successive nights beginning Wednesday, April 9. The event will be
held in the College Administration Building Auditorium.
Myra Bruhl (Whitney Stalnaker) has a
frightening experience in her living room.
The play, set in 1978, revolves around a playwright-Sidney Bruhl-who
has had a string of flops. The young man has written "the perfect
five-character, one-set money maker." This is what has eluded Sidney.
Can he kill for success? Will he?
A collector of unusual items including handcuffs and
daggers, Sidney Bruhl (Chris Summers) helps young playwright
Clifford Anderson (Edmond White) into the Houdini handcuffs.
Join the cast for the fun of finding out.
Tickets are available at the door. Students are admitted free, all
others are $3. Showtime is 7 p.m. each night.
Because of staged violence and mild swearing, this play would
earn a PG-13 rating as a movie.

of Sidney's classy legal counsel.
