Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring.  Auditions for this classical farse of murder and insanity will be held on January 29th from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm and on Sunday the 30th from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm.  14 parts will be cast from actors ranging from the ages of 18 to 80.  You don't want to miss this one!  More info to follow!

The play is a farcical black comedy revolving around Mortimer
Brewster, a drama critic who must deal with his crazy, homicidal
family and local police in Brooklyn, NY, as he debates whether to go
through with his recent promise to marry the woman he loves. His
family includes two spinster aunts who have taken to murdering lonely
old men by poisoning them with a glass of home-made elderberry wine
laced with arsenic, strychnine, and "just a pinch" of cyanide; a
brother who believes he is Teddy Roosevelt and digs locks for the
Panama Canal in the cellar of the Brewster home (which then serve as
graves for the aunts' victims); and a murderous brother who has
received plastic surgery performed by an alcoholic accomplice, Dr.
Einstein (a character based on real-life gangland surgeon Joseph
Moran) to conceal his identity and now looks like horror-film actor
Boris Karloff.
