MENACHAP, CALIFORNIA. 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. Unnerving, exhilarating, and wildly inventive, you've never walked into anything quite like Trap.

Published Reviews

"My students were all excited in reading the perusal, but they didn't know how it ended. In our read through with the full scripts, they were instructed to not skip to the end. When we reached the last page, they erupted into screams!!"

-Nancy Malone, Hoover High School

"The audience went NUTS."

-Billy Houck, Fremont High School (retired)

"I have never heard a crowd scream that much. I didn't think we were going to be able to finish the play. The audience screamed and applauded for 3 - 5 minutes. It was insane ... and so much fun!!!"

-David Hastings, Olathe South High School
