Riverbend Players kicks off our 2025 Season with our first-ever production of an Agatha Christie murder mystery!

THE MOUSETRAP opens for nine shows Friday, February 28th, and runs through March 16th at the NCRD Performing Arts Center.

Meet the Cast: Joel Shapiro

This is Joel’s Riverbend Players and acting debut.

A retired teacher, he splits his time between Manzanita and Portland with his partner, Marla.

He enjoys dragon boating, cooking, volunteering at Rosehaven Shelter, and taking long beach walks with their new puppy, Tilly.

He is excited about his new adventures on stage and the chance to be part of such a terrific theater community.

THE MOUSETRAP by Agatha Christie:

A classic murder mystery occurs in Monkswell Manor, a guesthouse where a snowstorm traps a group of strangers.

As news arrives of a murder nearby, the guests realize that the killer might be among them.

Detective Sergeant Trotter arrives to investigate, but as tensions rise and secrets are uncovered, another murder occurs.

The play is famous for its surprise twist ending, and audiences are traditionally asked to keep the plot’s resolution a secret.

The Mousetrap holds the world record as the longest-running play, debuting in 1952 and remaining continuously on stage.
