With fall settling in, the Marymount Players are well underway in preparing for this year’s highly anticipated production, Trap, by Stephen Gregg. This play is unlike anything our drama department has attempted before. Its crazy storyline promises suspense, mystery, and just enough horror to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. But be warned: the cast is sworn to secrecy, so don’t expect any spoilers!

Marymount Players have taken on the challenge, ready to immerse themselves in this unique theatrical experience. This production not only demands skill but also versatility from the cast, who must switch between characters, timelines, and perspectives seamlessly. Such complexity pushes each actor to explore their range, and the rehearsals have been nothing short of intense.

When asked about the process, a few cast members shared their excitement about the psychological thriller aspect of Trap. “It’s unlike anything we’ve done before and keeping the plot details under wraps only adds to the excitement,” says one Marymount Player (anonymous). They mention that this secrecy builds camaraderie among the cast as they bond over shared inside jokes and plot twists they can’t wait to share with the audience. As someone in the play, I would say that it is a very new type of play that at first glance took some time to get used to, but the final result is something that I am very proud of.

With the whole school waiting in anticipation, it’s clear that Trap will be a standout production this year. Whether you’re a drama enthusiast or just curious, make sure to reserve your seat. But remember, some things are better left unsaid—until the curtain rises.
