It’s hard to believe, but UpStage Artists will be wrapping up their 6th season this year! They have two more great shows for everyone to come out and see. First, their fall show is a classic whodunit from the mind of Agatha Christie, “The Mousetrap.” “The Mousetrap” is the world’s longest running play. After a local woman is murdered, the guests and staff at Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them, and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another. A police detective, arriving on skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate. This record-breaking murder mystery features a brilliant surprise finish from Dame Agatha Christie, the foremost mystery writer of her time. Show dates are November 1, 2, 8, and 9 at 7:30 pm and November 3 and 10 at 2 pm. Tickets are just $10 and will go on sale Sept. 1.
Finally, this season, they have a special treat, UpStage will be performing a benefit production of “It’s A Wonderful Life, the live radio play.” This will be a free performance and donations will be collected for the Emmanuel Food Distribution. UpStage Artists believes community is the most important aspect of our life and we look to help in any way we can. “It’s A Wonderful Life,” beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life as a live 1940s radio broadcast. With the help of an ensemble that brings a few dozen characters to the stage, the story of idealistic George Bailey unfolds as he considers ending his life one fateful Christmas Eve. The performance will be on Saturday, December 7 at 7 pm and all proceeds will go to the Emmanuel Food Distribution. Tickets are free and more details will be forthcoming.
UpStage Artists is proud to be community theater for everyone! They hope you come out and see a show this fall!
