Reading, MA — What would you do for a shot at success? In Colonial Chorus Players’ production of the comedic thriller Deathtrap by Ira Levin, a washed-up playwright finds his chance to rise to the top once more—and he might be willing to kill for it! Simultaneously both hilarious and horrifying, Deathtrap is full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end.
Deathtrap features Jamie Cabot as playwright Sidney Bruhl; Colin Lamusta as aspiring writer Clifford Anderson; Ann Marie King as Sidney’s wife, Myra Bruhl; Beth Enos as Dutch psychic Helga ten Dorp; and Kevin Pierson as Sidney’s lawyer, Porter Milgrim. Deathtrap marks director Shanel Sparr’s first production with CCP.
Deathtrap is set in 1978. To get into the spirit of the times, audience members are invited to come dressed in their favorite looks from the 70s!
Performances are October 7, 8, 14, and 15 at 7:30 p.m. and October 9 and 16 at 2 p.m. at the Old Hose House, 1249 Main Street in Reading. Tickets are $22 for adults and $20 for seniors and students. Visit ccp1961.org for advance tickets. If tickets are purchased at the door, please use cash or check only. Sorry, no credit cards.
Deathtrap is the first show of CCP’s 2022–2023 season.
