Carlsbad Playreaders Presents Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” April 30

Mystery night arrives at Carlsbad City Library when Carlsbad Playreaders presents Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, directed by Jim Clevenger, on Monday, April 30 at 7:30 p.m.

In this classic murder mystery, ten characters, each with a skeleton in his or her closet, struggle to stay alive on a remote island. The play, which debuted in 1943, is based on the 1939 book acclaimed as Christie's best-selling novel with 100 million in sales to date, making it the world's best-selling mystery.

“The audience can expect a fast-paced performance of this classic whodunit as the characters try desperately to discover the identity of the killer among them before they become his victims,” says And Then There Were None director and actor Clevenger.

And Then There Were None features George Blum, Clevenger, Kent Gándola, Maelyn Gándola, Renee Gándola, Alex Guzman, Lee Howell, JJRowley and Eric West.

Clevenger currently serves as artistic manager of Patio Playhouse, where he has been directing and performing for more than 20 years. He has appeared locally at the Avo, Moonlight Amphitheater, North Coast Rep, Poway Performing Arts Company, Scripps Ranch Theatre and THEATRX.

The play reading will take place at , located at 1775 Dove Lane. Suggested donations of $5 for adults and $1 for students are taken at the door.
