SEE IT THIS WEEKEND! THE FINAL PERFORMANCES!
Riverbend Players launched the 2025 season with our first-ever Agatha Christie murder mystery—playing to huge crowds!
With five remaining shows, THE MOUSETRAP runs through March 16th at the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem.
THE MOUSETRAP by Agatha Christie
Directed by Randy Schultz:
A classic murder mystery occurs in Monkswell Manor, a guesthouse where a snowstorm traps a group of strangers.
As news arrives of a murder nearby, the guests realize that the killer might be among them.
Detective Sergeant Trotter arrives to investigate, but as tensions rise and secrets are uncovered, another murder occurs.
The play is famous for its surprise twist ending, and audiences are traditionally asked to keep the plot’s resolution a secret.
The Mousetrap holds the world record as the longest-running play, debuting in 1952 and remaining continuously on stage.
Get your 2025 SEASON PASS now and save 20% on tickets. It’s only available until March 16th.
Tickets and the 2025 SEASON PASS are available now at www.RiverbendPlayers.org

**no one turned away for lack of funds**
We’ll honor the courage of our personal journeys, embracing our unique paths and celebrating our growth. Come move, connect, and unfold with us!”
~This is a free-flowing dance and movement experience where you are encouraged to dance and enjoy the experience however you’d like with an intention of connecting deeper to yourself and exploring movement without words.
It’s an open space to play, celebrate life and community, practice embodiment modalities, enjoy music, process emotions, connect with others, and ultimately be nourished by the experience on a physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual level. No dance experience necessary~
Dance Etiquette/Tips:
*All are welcome – Family friendly events – Come as you are.
*Dance connections are an option, be clear with your yes or no, verbal or nonverbal.
*Flow toys are welcome!
*Bring a water bottle and layers.
*Bring kindness and respect for yourself and others and your willingness to explore and to dive into the ecstasy of spirit available through movement.
*No outside shoes on the dance floor if possible (dirty floors aren’t fun to roll around on)
*Please no strong scents, including body odor.
*Incense, we’ll keep it in the foyer.
*We ask that you limit talking during the dance set. Set up, break time, and the foyer area are great places to have longer conversations to limit distractions for others.
*We are encouraging everyone to be mindful of each other’s safety and health and stay home if you are not feeling well or have been exposed to someone sick. Follow your own judgment on whether to wear a mask or not.

Riverbend Players is looking to borrow a jukebox for the upcoming production of the hit comedy SORDID LIVES.
The jukebox can be from any era and doesn’t have to be in working order; we need it as a prop for one of the scenes on stage.
We would need it for about 6 weeks, and it would be in a safe space at the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem.
We’ll make sure you have plenty of complimentary tickets to the show so you can come admire your jukebox on stage.
Many of these are available in the Portland area, but we hope someone here might have one stashed away that they wouldn’t mind letting us use.
Email me at fsquillo@riverbendplayers.org if you or someone you know has one.
–

Email me and let’s set up a time to chat about your needs and see if this is a good fit.
