Beef and Boards presents Agatha Christie “The Mousetrap”
Agatha Christie’s legendary whodunit, The Mousetrap, is now on stage at Indy’s Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre through February 15th. This stage production of the classic murder mystery continues to keep theater patrons guessing as it has for over 70 years. The Mousetrap holds the Guinness World Record for the longest-running play, having run continuously since its debut in 1952 with over 30,000 performances.
Mollie Ralston (Malia Munley) screams as she discovers the body of Mrs. Boyle (Suzanne Stark)
Isolated country house Monkswell Manor is filling up with guests as a full blown snowstorm isolates the property. Fear grows as the guests and innkeepers realize that among them lurks a killer. Just as Act I comes to a close a blood curdling scream announces the discovery of another murder victim.
Detective Sergeant Trotter (Scot Greenwell), center, arrives on skis outside Monkswell Manor during a snowstorm.
The cast is packed with colorful characters including a pair of newlywed innkeepers, Mollie (Malia Munley) and Giles (Jae Woo) Ralston, a peculiar spinster Mrs. Boyle (Suzanne Stark), a quirky architect Christopher Wren (Jonathan Cobrda), the imposing retired Major Metcalf (Jeff Stockberger), an unexpected traveler Mr. Paravicini (Adam
Du Plesis), a sharp-tongued jurist Miss Casewell (Hannah Embree), and a police investigator Det. Sgt. Trotter (Scot Greenwell).
Christopher Wren (Jonathan Cobrda), left, reaches to grab the paper from Miss Casewell (Hannah Embree) after she tells him there’s an article about a murder
Put on your thinking cap. Try to identity the killer. Plot twists and turns, surprise revelations, uniquely animated and weird personalities all blend within scenes of humor, sadness, and chaotic actions. You will be invited to solve this whodunit, but warned to never reveal the ending so all future patrons will have the thrill of the solution.
The characters are all suspicious in Agatha Christie’s murder mystery, “The Mousetrap”,
The Mousetrap is on stage through Feb. 15, and marks the start of Beef & Boards’ exciting 2026 season. Every performance includes Beef & Boards’ signature dinner buffet along with coffee, tea, or lemonade. Tickets are available exclusively through Beef & Boards box office at B&B’s website or by calling the

Herman’s Hermits
How many of you know what I’m talking about when I say Herman’s Hermits?
I asked our each of our 5 kids and only one of them knew. That’s because he remembered “Henry the Eighth”. One of their popular songs.
They were a popular English rock band formed in 1963. They were my favorite group when I was in high school! I never thought I’d get to see them live on stage! But, I did!
Herman’s Hermits, starring Peter Noone performed at The Brown County Music Center in Nashville, Indiana and we got tickets for the December performance. Peter Noone of the original group is still performing with the group. You can imagine my excitement at seeing him.
They performed some of their popular hits. Like “Mrs. Brown You’ve Got A Beautiful Daughter” and “A Kind of Hush”. Some Christmas songs were sung. It was such a great evening. ~Sher
Happy New Year

We went to Irvington’s Spooky Organ Concert
Irvington is an historic neighborhood on the near eastside of Indianapolis. As part of it’s famed annual Halloween Festival, Our Lady of Lourdes Church was the site of a “Spooky Organ Concert” last night.
Our Lady of Lourdes main entrance
The free concert began at 6:00 PM, with the church sanctuary filled to capacity. Bach’s Fugue in G Minor opened the program played, of course, on the church organ. Very talented local musicians performed a variety of numbers including movie scores, Broadway hits and other spooky themes. We really enjoyed this delightful musical celebration of the Halloween season.
