Arsenic and Old Lace at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts

Combining murder and mayhem with zany humor, Arsenic and Old Lace is an uproarious black comedy that gives "hospitality" a bad name. Meet Abby and Martha Brewster, two spinster sisters known for their acts of charity – which lately includes poisoning lonely, old men with their homemade arsenic-laced elderberry wine. When their nephew Mortimer finds out about the corpses in the cellar, he's in a frantic race to deal with his aunts, his fiancée, and two crazy brothers – one who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt and the other who has had plastic surgery to resemble Boris Karloff! Don't miss one of America's most popular classic comedies in a spiffy new production that will slay you with laughter.
