La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts & McCoy Rigby Entertainment is thrilled to present the third show of their 2019-2020 season, the hilariously dark comedy, Arsenic and Old Lace running through Sunday, February 16th. Written by Joseph Kesselring and directed by Casey Stangl the Broadway production combines murder and mayhem with zany humor. 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 arsenic-laced elderberry wine. When their nephew 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 one who is a dead-ringer for Boris Karloff! Don’t miss one of America’s most popular comedies in a spiffy new production that will slay you with laughter!
