Tickets are on sale for the High School Drama Club's performance of "Arsenic and Old Lace," with two shows taking place Saturday, Oct. 18 at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The show is a classic dark humor comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: Family!
Drama critic Mortimer Brewster’s engagement announcement is upended when he discovers a corpse in his elderly aunts’ window seat. Mortimer rushes to tell Abby and Martha before they stumble upon the body themselves, only to learn that the two old women aren’t just aware of the dead man in their parlor, they killed him!
Between his aunts’ penchant for poisoning wine, a brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, and another brother using plastic surgery to hide from the police—not to mention Mortimer’s own hesitancy about marriage—it’ll be a miracle if Mortimer makes it to his wedding.
Director Laura Hulle called "Arsenic and Old Lace" a classic and charming tale, with 50 students involved in bringing this show to life.
"By moving the date of the fall play up a month we are able to provide our students with more opportunities to participate in not only our productions but other clubs, sports, and activities," she added.
Ticket prices are $12 for adults, and $8 for students and senior citizens.
