Our festive family holiday show is a joyous and music-filled adaptation of A Christmas Carol based on the Charles Dickens classic tale. I'll Be Back Before Midnight is a spine-chilling mystery thriller that will fill the theatre with blood-curdling screams! And the season finale brings Kiss The Moon, Kiss The Sun, back by popular demand. This heart-warming comedy by Norm Foster proves that the power of an extraordinary friendship can change your life forever!

Century Theatre Guild will present Deathtrap, the famous thriller by Ira Levin, at Century Church Theatre, Hillsburgh. Deathtrap was one of the biggest hits in the history of Broadway, and a film starring Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve. Levin, the author of Rosemary's Baby, has taken the basic components of thrillers, mysteries and horror stories -- murder, deceit, innocent dialogue with sinister meanings, plot reversals -- and has twisted and rearranged the pieces again and again to create a masterpiece of theatre. Even the psychic in the play can't help you see what's coming. Each time you seem to grasp the plot, it slips through your fingers. Please do not give away the ending! The show plays at Century Church Theatre, May 7 to 10, at 8 p.m. with a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Saturday. Tickets are $15, $18 on Friday and Saturday evening. All seats are reserved, and can be reserved by calling. Call the box office at 519-855-4586.
