TROY — The Troy High School Thespians will present “Trap,” a play by Stephen Gregg, Friday, Nov. 17, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 18, in the Troy High School auditorium.
Tickets are $5 for students and $8 for adults. Tickets may be purchased online at troyhs.booktix.net or in person on the night of the show.
The play focuses on an incomprehensible event: every person in the audience of a high school play falls unconscious — every person but one.
Using interviews with witnesses, loved ones, first responders and the investigators pursuing the case, a theatre ensemble brings the story of the strange event to life, documentary-style. But as the strands weave together into an increasingly dangerous web, it becomes clear that this phenomenon might not be entirely in the past.
