Arsenic & Old Lace at Town Theatre

Mortimer Brewster is a happy man – a steady job and recently engaged – excited to share his news with his sweet spinster aunts. Despite one brother who believes himself to be Teddy Roosevelt, it isn’t until he realizes that his dear aunts have been poisoning lonely old men for years that his world goes topsy-turvy. When Mortimer’s other brother (who strangely now resembles Boris Karloff) returns on the night that the aunts were planning to bury the newest victim, Mortimer must rally to help his aunts and protect his fiancé – all while trying to keep his own sanity as well. An uproarious farce on plays involving murder, Arsenic and Old Lace has become a favorite amongst regional theatres throughout America.

The show will be directed by Allison McNeely and runs January 4-20, 2019.

Show times are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 PM and Sundays at 3:00 PM. Tickets will be available online at towntheatre.com beginning December 28 or through the box office at 803-799-2510. Box office hours are Mon – Fri 12 noon – 5 PM.
