Jack Neary’s new version of the Charles Dickens classic holiday tale returns for a second year. Ira Levin’s masterpiece Deathtrap will be the showstopping beginning of Foothills’ 2004 line-up. The wild, twisting and sometimes shocking thriller will keep audiences guessing until the very last scene. Deathrap will run from January 1 through January 25.
Foothills will bring the sexy Kander and Ebb musical, Cabaret to Worcester February 25 through April 4. The production showcases the glamour of the legendary Kit Kat Club.
