ARSENIC AND OLD LACE
By Joseph Kesselring
APRIL 30 TO MAY 24, 2026
Every family has its secrets – and it’s no different for the Brewster family! Drama critic Mortimer Brewster comes home to announce his engagement to his family, but he soon discovers that his sweet spinster aunts have been cheerfully poisoning lonely elderly men with elderberry wine (as an act of mercy!). Can Mortimer be loyal to his family and to the law? And can he prevent his bride-to-be from discovering the skeletons in the Brewster family closet? Mayhem meets the macabre in this classic black comedy.
Arsenic and Old Lace is presented through special arrangement with Concord Theatricals. All authorized performance materials are also supplied by Concord Theatricals. www.ConcordTheatricals.com
