THE MOUSETRAP Comes to Cast Theatrical Beginning This Week

Cast Theatrical Company presents Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap" as the final production of its 2022 season.

A true classic by the grande dame of mysteries, "The Mousetrap" is the story of a group of strangers stranded in a guesthouse during a snowstorm... and one of them is a murderer.

The suspects include the married couple who run the house, Mollie Ralston (played by Elizabeth Schneider) and Giles Ralston (played by Sam Martinez); Miss Casewell (played by Tricia Yurcak), a spinster with a curious background; Christopher Wren (played by Dan Giles), an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; Major Metcalf (played by James Hernandez), a retired Army major; Mrs. Boyle (played by Ivannah Bandalan), a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone; and a stranger called Paravicini (played by Darin Mielke), who has appeared mysteriously with no prior reservation. Into their midst comes a policeman on skis, Sergeant Trotter (played by Prateek Karkal).

Creative Team:

Director: Roger Bauer

Assistant Director: Alicia Meier

Stage Manager: Michael Thorpe

"I have found The Mousetrap to be one of the most challenging productions I have ever had the honor of preparing for an audience," said Director Roger Bauer. "The complexity of the characters is amazing, and the storyline presents such a wide variety of emotional responses from laughter to intrigue, and anger to love. I also believe that our audience will be thoroughly impressed with not only the quality of our actors, but the set as well. One of the best set constructions I have ever seen at Cast Theatrical."

Performances are held at Cast Theatrical Company, 1909 Avenue G in Rosenberg (second floor) through October 23.
