Clear Creek Community Theatre is excited to bring you Love from a Stranger – this intense psychological thriller as our first play for 2022. Brought to you by a talented cast and director, Aprille Meek, this Agatha Christie classic is not to be missed! All performances will be held at the Bayou Theater on the UH Clear Lake Campus.
About the Play:
Cecily Harrington has led a staid and proper existence. After winning a large amount of money in a sweepstake she desperately yearns for a life of adventure. Enter Bruce Lovell, a handsome and charming stranger who sweeps her off her feet. In a whirlwind romance, she recklessly abandons her job, friends and fiancé to settle in the remote and blissful surroundings of a country cottage. However, her newfound “love from a stranger” is not what it seems and in an astonishingly tense final scene, Cecily discovers the ghastly truth of her new love.
Love From a Stranger is an adaptation by Agatha Christie and Frank Vosper which draws both on Christie’s earlier play, The Stranger, and her short story, Philomel Cottage. Some years before this play, Christie herself wrote a stage version, calling it The Stranger.
For non-profits, like Clear Creek Community Theatre, end-of-year fundraising is a critical time in our financial calendar. It has been a particularly challenging year for CCCT as we strive to maintain a regular season while working through the twists and turns of play production during a pandemic. We’ve got a great line-up of shows for the 2022 season, but we need your help to make this year a success. Your donations to Clear Creek Community Theatre make a huge difference in helping to cover our operating costs. We are a completely volunteer organization, so every dollar you give goes directly to the shows we produce for the Bay Area community. There are many ways to support CCCT. Please visit our season page, and consider buying a season pass. You can also become a sustaining contributor by giving a little every month. Finally, single donations are a particularly good way to make a fully deductible gift before the end of the tax year.
Help us get 2022 off on a sound financial footing. Your theater community thanks you!
