'Mousetrap' to open
' No one is telling "who did it" in the
next ACU dinner theater production
"The Mousetrap."
Director Dr. Ted Starnes associate
professor of drama said"Don't read
it. Don't talk to any one about it. Just
come and be entertained."

Christie murder mystery opens

April 4-6 and April 11-13

seats for the night they plan to attend
and they need to do it soon "if they
want to get good seats" Hester said.
