Illnesses produce postponement for The Mousetrap Dinner Theatre Hospitalization of the director, laryngitis of key actors and winter colds among cast members forced a last-minute cancellation of the Annual Thespian Din- ner Theatre in january. The production of Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap was rescheduled for March 29 and the two- month postponement gave the cast members time to rccuperate and practice their lines for the play. Christie's suspenseful murder-mystery included a cast of characters who had very opposing personalities, a boardinghouse which sheltered the characters during a blizzard, and of course, a murder that all of the characters were prime suspects to. A young couple, Giles and Mollie Ralston, decided to open up a board- inghouse in an inherited mansion, After advertising in the London newspapers, the vacancies were filled and the guests soon arrived. They brought with them, not on- ly luggage, but the news of a nearby murder. The plot thickens when a Sergeant Trotter, the last guest to arrive, announces that he has come to investigate the recent murder in London. Not reveal- ed until the last minutes of the perfor- mance, the murderer proved to be quite insane and bent on revenge for having had a disasterous childhood. Director for the Thespian production of The Mousetrap was Senior Nancy Peck. s CAST MEMBERS Mollie Ralston ............... Lora Hull Giles Talston ........
