"Hilberry Theatre works hard to build a better 'Mousetrap'"

by John Monaghan

It's only fitting that the Hilberry Theatre opens its 50th-anniversary season with "The Mousetrap." For the past half-century, the graduate theater company at Wayne State University has been staging quality classics like this polished, entertaining version of the Agatha Christie thriller. The 1952 whodunit, is still the longest-running play in theater history. At the production's best, the Hilberry and director David J. Magidson do with "The Mousetrap" what they strive to do with any chestnut -- allow the talented troupe of students to take what could have been a waxworks exercise and make it fresh again. A photo of a scene from "The Mousetrap" is included.
