Temple Theatre in Sanford will present "Deathtrap," Sept. 28-Oct. 15.

"Deathtrap" is a clever thriller that will leave audiences gasping and laughing until the very end. Ira Levin, whose most notable works include "Rosemary's Baby" and "Sliver," has combined murder and treachery with wit and humor to create the longest-running thriller on Broadway.

Temple favorites Quinn Hawkesworth ("Lettice and Lovage," "Fair and Tender Ladies"), John Murphy ("Over the River and Through the Woods," "Sunshine Boys"), Tom Dalton ("The Diary of Anne Frank," "Frankenstein"), and Cassandra Vallery ("My Way," "Some Enchanted Evening") return to the stage and are directed by Temple newcomer Adam Traylor.

Opening night is Friday, Sept. 29, and the audience is invited to meet the performers and designers after the show while enjoying a complimentary champagne toast.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for students and children, $16 for groups, $16 for active military personnel, and $16 for Lee County educators.

During the run of "Deathtrap" only, Temple Theatre is offering discounted tickets to its repeat customers. If customers return to the theater to see the show with guests and bring their original ticket stub, they will receive a discounted rate of $10 for their ticket. Guests will pay normal ticket prices.
