Our friends at OpenStage Theatre & Company in Fort Collins have a unique, signature program to support The Denver Actors Fund called “Final Fridays.” On the, yes, final Friday of every mainstage production run, cast members gather after the show to greet departing audience members and collect bucket donations for the DAF. Next up: OpenStage will be collecting after the Friday, February 6 performance of Agatha Christie’s “The Mousetrap” at the Lincoln Center’s Magnolia Theatre. The director is Heather Ostberg Johnson.
“The Mousetrap” is significant for being the world’s longest-running play in history, a testament to its enduring appeal as a murder mystery that keeps audiences guessing. On a snowy winter day in a newly converted manor run by an inexperienced young couple, Mollie and Giles, a radio report announces that a woman has been murdered in Paddington. You can pretty much take it from there.
Tickets are regularly up to $39 but, to receive discounted pricing for students, teachers or industry, simply enter INDUSTRY or STUDENT as a promo code at checkout. Tickets at https://openstage.com/show/the-mousetrap.
Please support the companies that support the DAF by seeing this show anytime before it closes on February 7. But if you want to support the DAF at the same time, why not join us on February 6 at the Lincoln Center? Thank you, Producing Artistic Director Jacob Offen, cast, crew, volunteers – and all of you who show up!
