Seat of the Pants' Salon Series is back for another season with public readings of new plays, followed by audience feedback sessions to provide help as the playwrights prepare for their next rounds of edits and rewrites. First up we're excited to welcome *India Nicole Burton* back to Cleveland for a reading of her play, *The Witching Hour. The Witching Hour *is part of a trilogy of plays chronicling the lineage of an African American family with supernatural powers.

What will the relatives do when their inherited talents become known to the community? Directed by Jeannine Gaskin and produced by Benjamin Gregg, the reading features the acting talents of Ashley Aquilla, Zyrece Crump, Isaiah Gaskin, Samia Keaton, Drew Pope, and Tamicka Scruggs. You have two opportunities to catch this exciting story - both on Saturday, September 20th.

"The Mousetrap" Opens at Clague Playhouse 9/12
by Clague Playhouse 30 Aug '25

30 Aug '25

*The Mousetrap* by Agatha Christie Directed by Ron Newell Playing at Clague Playhouse Friday, September 12th through Sunday, October 5th, 2025. Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30PM and Sundays at 2PM. *Stay for a Talk-Back Discussion with the Cast & Crew after the show on Saturday, September 13th; Sunday, September 21st; and Saturday, September 27th.* Agatha Christie’s iconic murder mystery is the world’s most successful and 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, culminating in a brilliant surprise finish. “A still-marvelous whodunit... fiendishly fabulous... The Mousetrap deserves to make a killing.” – Chicago Sun-Times “The Mousetrap, of course, is a masterpiece of misdirection. Thriller writers are like magicians and mind readers; the best of them constantly persuade you to look in the wrong direction, to think about anything but the actual logic of the plot. Of all the stage versions of Christie’s books, The Mousetrap is by far the best, perhaps because of its genesis as a radio play. – The Chicago Tribune Our cast features Jon Fancher as Major Metcalf, Margaret Hnat as Miss Casewell, Barb Howitt as Mrs. Boyle, Assad Khaishgi as Mr. Paravicini, Corey Knick as Christopher Wren, Rowan Myatt-Jones as Sergeant Trotter, James Robert Newton as Giles Ralston, and Erin Williams as Mollie Ralston. Visit bit.ly/ClaguePlayhouseTickets to buy tickets or call the box office at 440-331-0403 (open Wednesdays 1-6PM).
