Can I Tell You a Secret?

CHSW THEATER PRESENTS TRAP THIS WEEKEND!

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.

Friday @ 7PM
Saturday @ 7PM
Sunday

Tickets sold at the doors, or online at chsw.booktix.com

**Please note the show may be scary for younger children.
