BUCYRUS LITTLE THEATRE
2022-2023 Season
The Mousetrap
Written by Agatha Christie
Directed by Mindy Tishue
The longest continuously running theatrical production (since 1952, except for a COVID-19 break) makes its return to BLT. The scene is set when a group of people, gathered in a country house cut off by the snow, discover, to their horror, that there is a murderer in their midst. Who can it be? One by one the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts until at the last, nerve-shredding moment the identity and the motive are finally revealed.

Jake's Women
Written by Neil Simon
Directed by Marina Bayless
Jake, a novelist who is more successful with fiction than with life, faces a marital crisis by daydreaming about the women in his life. The wildly comic and sometimes moving flashbacks played in his mind are interrupted by visitations from actual females. Jake's women include a revered first wife who was killed years earlier in an accident, his daughter who is recalled as a child but is now a young woman, his boisterous and bossy sister, and others.

Disenchanted!
By Dennis T. Giacino
Directed by Jason Chandler
Poisoned apples. Glass slippers. Who needs 'em?! Not Snow White and her posse of disenchanted princesses in this hit musical that's anything but Grimm. The original storybook heroines are none-too-happy with the way they've been portrayed in today's pop culture so they've tossed their tiaras and have come to life to set the record straight. Forget the princesses you think you know-- these royal renegades are here to comically belt out the truth. (Contains adult language and content.)
