3. WHY THIS SHOW?
The Mousetrap is the world’s longest running play, opening in London’s West End in 1952 and continuing its run since then. It is a murder-mystery and is written by one of the most successful and prolific writers – Agatha Christie. This production allows for focused actor training, deeper scenic technology education for those building the sets, and an amazing audience experience! For first timers, this show is absolutely wonderful! (Don’t give away spoilers to ANYONE. It ruins the plot…SERIOUSLY.)
Add brief explanation (cast size, contrast with Fall Play, whatever)

4. Volunteering
