Los Alamos Little Theatre

We are so excited to announce our November show!!

The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie!

The world’s longest running play!

A group of strangers is stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm, one of whom is a murderer. The suspects include the newly married couple who run the house, and the suspicions in their minds nearly wreck their perfect marriage. Others are a spinster with a curious background, an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired Army major, a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift, and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. Into the midst comes a policeman, traveling on skis. He no sooner arrives, when the jurist is killed. Two down and one to go. To get to the rationale of the murderer’s pattern, the policeman probes the background of everyone present and rattles a lot of skeletons. Another famous Agatha Christie switch finish! Chalk up another superb intrigue for the foremost mystery writer of her time.

Approximate runtime: 2 hours, 30 minutes

Performance dates are November: 6-8, 13-15, 20-21, 2026

Tickets $25 per adult ($20 for students and seniors) and are available at the link below.

The Performing Arts Center is undergoing some maintenance to upgrade our HVAC so be warned that the first weekend may be a little chillier, but thanks to the major renovations in 2025, we have better insulation! We do recommend that you wear a warm, comfy coat though just in case. 

The Mousetrap is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordthedatricals.com

The 8x10s are one of LALT’s favorite ways to highlight local talent and let people try out roles like directing and acting. We are currently taking submissions for scripts! The due date for scripts is Oct 2nd, 2026 so there is plenty of time still! While we already have our theme of 9 Lives, your script does not have to tie in to the theme.

Important Information:

Script Submission Deadline: October 2nd

If you have questions about the 8x10s or LALT in general, please reach out to us at the8x10s@lalt.org

Overtones, Alice Gerstenberg’s most famous play, is a hilarious one-act that explores the dynamic between two women, played by four actors. The “outer selves” present themselves as sophisticated, if not a little catty, women that have known each other since childhood and treat each other with the expected respect. Their “inner selves” have no such requirement, speaking exactly what’s on their mind be it about love, money, or cake.

This production is appropriate for audiences of all ages. Families and young theatre-goers are welcome! As always, parents and guardians are encouraged to consider their individual child’s comfort with live theatre and ability to remain seated for the duration of the performance.

Approximate runtime: 1 hour 30 minutes

Performance dates are September 11, 12, 18, 19, 20*, 25, 26. Evening shows start at 7:30pm and the Sunday matinee starts at 2:00pm. The house will open thirty minutes before the show begins.

Tickets are $20 and are available at the link below. Students and Seniors can use the code LALT26 for 20% off.
