THE CRYSTAL SPRINGS PLAYERS 15TH SEASON The stage is not merely the meeting place of all the arts, but is also the return of art to life - Oscar Wilde California Suite
2008
The Mousetrap
A group of strangers are stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm. One is a murderer. The suspects include the newly married couple who run the house. Others are a spinster with a curious background, an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired Army major, a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift, and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. Into their midst comes a policeman, traveling on skis. Many skeletons are rattled as the policeman probes the murder suspects. Then a twist revealing the skill of Christie to make a surprising finish. (Pending licensing approval.) 2009
The Laramie Project
To try to make sense of this horrifying event, Moisés Kaufman and the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial. They conducted over 200 interviews with people in the town. The Laramie Project is a compelling collage told by the people who lived in the town.

Neil
Simon at his most humane, compassionate best. It's a humorous confection
divided into four parts. In Visitors from Chicago, two couples are
winding up a vacation they should not have shared. Visitors from
London concerns a British star and Oscar nominee before and after
the Academy Award ceremony. Visitors from Philadelphia concerns
a wife who arrives at the hotel suite before her husband can get
rid of the drunken hooker in his bed. In Visitors from New York,
a magazine writer is visited by her ex-husband to discuss how to
deal with their teenage daughter. 
Agatha
Christie is a premier writer of mystery plays. The Mousetrap is
one of her best, still playing in London after 56 years. 
In October 1998, a twenty-one year old gay student at the University
of Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die on a fence
outside Laramie, Wyoming. Matthew Shepard died several days later.
This crime made national news.
