Mark your calendars now for "Arsenic and Old Lace", a theater classic about the only thing more deadly than poison: family.
What starts as a joyful engagement announcement quickly turns into a nightmare for drama critic Mortimer Brewster when he discovers his sweet elderly aunts are harboring a shocking secret—and it’s sitting right in their living room.
As Mortimer scrambles to keep the truth buried, he’s pulled into a whirlwind of eccentric relatives, unexpected visitors, and escalating chaos. With its rapid-fire dialogue, unforgettable characters, and deliciously dark humor, Arsenic and Old Lace is one of the most beloved comedies ever written.
If you enjoy clever wit, classic farce, and laughs that just keep coming, this is a show you won’t want to miss.
