Coal Creek Community Theater presents
Arsenic and Old Lace
by Joseph Kesselring
Directed by Rick Hays
Brooklyn, 1941. The Brewster sisters are the sweetest women in the neighborhood. They bake, they garden, they take in lonely old men, and they poison them with elderberry wine. When nephew Mortimer stops by to announce his engagement, he discovers a body in the window seat and realizes his beloved aunts have racked up quite a count. Add one brother who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt, another who's an actual murderer, and you've got a family reunion that's going to need a lot more wine.
Run Time - 3 hours, with one 15-minute intermission and a brief pause
