Arsenic and Old Lace
by Joseph Kesselring
Directed by Jennifer Day
Produced by Steve Winslow
September 10-27, 2026
Synopsis: This beloved dark comedy follows the charmingly eccentric Brewster family, whose hospitality hides a deadly secret. When drama critic Mortimer Brewster uncovers the truth about his sweet aunts, chaos ensues. Add in a delusional brother, a criminal lookalike, and a confused plastic surgeon, and hilarity erupts. Doors slam, bodies pile up, and misunderstandings multiply at a dizzying pace. Fast-paced and delightfully macabre, this classic farce never loses its bite. A masterclass in comic timing and theatrical absurdity. A perfect blend of wit, romance, and outrageous comedy.
