Olympia High School will present our fall production of the classic comedy Arsenic and Old Lace on Friday, October 1, at 7:00 PM; Saturday, October 2, at 7:00 PM; and Sunday, October 3, at 2:00 PM. Tickets can be reserved by calling Wendy Wade at (309) 379-5941, ext. 8330.
Written by Joseph Kesselring and first produced in 1941, this dark comedy is the tale of the Brewster family: Aunt Abby (Katherine Helms) and Aunt Martha (Rachel Spratt) and their deadly hobby; murderous Jonathan (Abraham Bishop), who, due to an intoxicated plastic surgeon (Michael Bagby) resembles Boris Karloff; Teddy (Gage Hunt-Schroers), who believes he is President Teddy Roosevelt; and Mortimer (Neil Alford), who tries to hold his own amid the insanity.
Direction is by Wendy Wade, with costuming by Heather Schwarting. Megan Whitecotton serves as tech director.
