This Halloween, join us for one of Broadway’s most beloved dark comedies—Arsenic and Old Lace. When theatre critic Mortimer Brewster returns home to announce his engagement, he discovers a shocking family secret: his sweet, elderly aunts have been quietly poisoning lonely old men as an act of charity. Add in a brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt and a murderous criminal on the run, and the result is a fast-paced farce filled with outrageous twists and devilish wit.
A clever blend of slapstick, satire, and suspense, Arsenic and Old Lace is a timeless romp through madness, murder, and mistaken identity. Whether you’re a longtime fan or experiencing it for the first time, this macabre masterpiece is the perfect way to celebrate the spooky season.
Don’t miss your chance to catch this classic comedy—performed for one weekend only. Seating is limited, and so is time.
