Hoping To Produce: Arsenic and Old Lace

February 13-22, 2026 Co-Directors - Brent Jenkins & Ken Roberts Auditions Monday, December 15 Drama critic Mortimer Brewster’s engagement announcement is upended when he discovers a corpse in his elderly aunts’ window seat. He rushes to warn Abby and Martha before they find the body themselves, only to discover the women aren’t merely aware of the dead man in their parlor — they killed him. With the aunts’ taste for poisoning wine, one brother convinced he’s Teddy Roosevelt, another brother using plastic surgery to avoid the police, and Mortimer’s own hesitation about marriage, getting him to the wedding will be a tall order. Arsenic and Old Lace is a classic comedy that proves family can be more dangerous than poison.
