Arsenic and Old Lace is the story of the eccentric Brewster family. The two spinster sisters, Aunt Abby (Alene Blomquist) and Aunt Martha (Sara Honsowetz), run a boarding house for lonely old men who never leave and cook up some fun with their Elderberry wine. The women have three nephews – Teddy (Douglas Harris), who believes he’s Teddy Roosevelt; Mortimer (Leo Babcock), who is a theatre critic and about to marry the lovely Elaine (Mindy Manalp) who lives next door with her father, the Rev. Dr. Harper (Dean Klepaczyk); and Jonathon (Alan Day) who’s a murderous criminal who hasn’t been seen for years and when he does, he looks like Boris Karloff. His accomplice Dr. Einstein (Kyle Newmeyer) has done a poor job of plastic surgery. The fun begins when the bodies start appearing. Rounding out the cast are Dan Lane, Kevin Myers, Adam Nola, Deric Prieskorn, and Rick Vaught.


This classic fun-filled play is sure to be enjoyed by anyone who loves a good, clean comedy with a bit of slapstick, misdirection and misunderstanding.
