Providence Players Presents

Join your fellow Villagers for the production of “Deathtrap” by Ira Levin. “In this well-known mystery thriller, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway hits, is struggling to overcome a ‘dry’ spell which has resulted in a series of box office flops. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a remarkable script from a student which Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway juggernaut. Suspense mounts steadily … with such an abundance of thrills and laughter, that audiences will be held enthralled until the final, startling moments of the play.” Prior to the performance, join Villagers beginning at 6:00pm at La Granja de Oro restaurant located at 2920 Annandale Road.
