(MANASQUAN, NJ) -- Algonquin Arts Theatre is presenting Deathtrap, a murder mystery by Ira Levin, from January 19-28, 2024. Sidney Bruhl would do anything to publish the next great play. He would even kill for it. This dark comedy, thriller will have audiences laughing one moment and screaming in terror the next as Sidney discovers he may not be the only murderer in the room. Photographer John Posada was on hand to take photos.

One of the great popular successes of recent Broadway history, Deathtrap provides twists and turns and sudden shocks in such abundance that audiences will be held spellbound until the very last moment. This show contains violence and limited use of strong language.

The cast includes Mark S. Megill (Sydney Bruhl), Cindy Chait (Myra Bruhl), Garrett Gallinot (Clifford Anderson), Lauren J. Cooke (Helga ten Dorp), and Brendan Flanagan (Porter Milgram).

The creative team includes; Derek Hulse, Director; Gillian Roberts, Rehearsal Stage Manager; Rachel Krupnick, Production Stage Manager; Joe Ficarra, Producer/Sound Design/Props; Ashley Cusack, Scenic Designer, Roman Klima, Lighting Design and Joanne Penrose, Costume Design.

Tickets start at just $26 and may be purchased at www.algonquinarts.org, by calling 732-528-9211 or by visiting the Algonquin Arts Theatre box office Monday through Saturday, 10:00am-4:00pm located at 60 Abe Voorhees Drive, Manasquan, New Jersey.
