Agatha Christie returns to JTC in a 70th Anniversary Production of THE MOUSETRAP!
November 17-20 – Owens Auditorium @BPAC
JTC is proud to announce that tickets are on sale for The Mousetrap! Our 10th season opens with a production of Agatha Christie’s biggest hit, which celebrates its 70th anniversary this year, and is still running in London’s West End–the original production is the longest running play in the world!
If you love Agatha Christie, if you saw JTC’s productions of Witness for the Prosecution (2019) or And Then There Were None (2017), or if you just love a good time at the theatre, put this one on your calendar! And this one is great for GROUPS who love a good mystery.
The Mousetrap is a timeless tale of “whodunit,” Seven strangers are stranded at Monkswell Manor during a blizzard. There’s been a murder nearby, and the killer is still at large. When the police sergeant arrives, worried that the murderer may be among the guests of the Manor, he initiates an investigation into the lives and histories of everyone there. One of them is the killer, and another one of them may be next. Will the police be able to solve the case before another “mouse” falls?
As always, our mainstage shows are at Owens Auditorium at BPAC, where we’re proud to be the Professional Theatre Company in Residence.
Our Education Program and Community Outreach are coming back strong, and there will be Educational Performances of The Mousetrap.
SOMETHING NEW IN THE SANDHILLS
The 1st Annual JTC Summer Theatre Festival
We’re proud to announce The 1st Annual JTC Summer Theatre Festival! The only theatre festival in the Sandhills, bringing three professional productions to the McPherson Theatre at Bradshaw Performing Arts Center (BPAC) this summer, July 22-August 28.
Focusing on 21st century contemporary plays and intimate musicals that lend themselves to the McPherson Theatre’s 60-seat capacity, all of the first season shows are Moore County premieres. The schedule is as follows:
Gutenberg! The Musical! (July 22-31) introduces us to Bud Davenport and Doug Simon, authors of a musical about Johannes Gutenberg they are pitching to Broadway producers. Because the minimally-talented and starry-eyed authors don’t have a cast or an orchestra, at their backer’s audition Bud and Doug play all of the roles themselves.
Buyer & Cellar (August 5-14) tells the story of Alex More, a struggling actor in L.A., who takes a job working in the basement mall in Barbra Streisand’s Malibu, California home.
tick, tick…BOOM! (August 19-28) is a musical about the life of Jonathan, an aspiring composer in New York in 1990 who is worried he made the wrong career choice.
Each production runs 2 weeks.
