The Bay St. Louis Little Theatre presents its final show of the 2024-2025 season, “The Mousetrap” by Agatha Christie. The show will open on Friday, June 13, 2025. It is the world’s longest-running play – running 63 years. The show opened in London in 1952 and has reached over 30,000 performances.
The play was originally written as a short radio play that Agatha Christie presented to Queen Mary of England for her birthday.
The play is a whodunit story with a twist ending. By tradition, at the end of each performance, audiences are asked not to reveal the identity of the killer to anyone outside the theatre, to ensure that the end of the play is not spoiled for future audiences.
Mollie and Giles Ralston own a boarding house where a group of strangers are stranded during a snowstorm, one of whom is a murderer. All eight characters in the play are considered suspects. All reveal their skeletons in their closets to get the solution of the murders.
The show dates and times are June 13, 14, 20, and 21 at 8pm. Sunday matinees are June 15 and 22 at 2pm.
The Little Theatre is taking reservations now.
Reservations can be made under our ‘Tickets’ tab and by phone at 228-467-9024.
