🎭 Arsenic and Old Lace
Presenter: The Bluegrass Players (BGP)
Director: Chad Hembree
Venue: The Spotlight Playhouse, Berea, KY
📖 Meet the Brewster sisters, two charming and hospitable spinsters who have taken it upon themselves to populate their cellar with the remains of “acceptable” lodgers. When their nephew Mortimer discovers their charitable hobby, he must deal with his homicidal family while trying to marry the woman he loves. Add to this mix a brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt and another who looks like Boris Karloff, and you have one of the most popular dark comedies of the American theater.
This classic Joseph Kesselring comedy blends macabre humor with madcap fun, creating a delightfully twisted tale that has been entertaining audiences for generations. The Bluegrass Players bring this beloved theatrical gem to life with all the charm, wit, and delicious darkness it deserves.
