Arsenic and Old Lace follows the story of Mortimer Brewster, a theatre critic who discovers his beloved Aunt Abby and Aunt Martha have made a hobby of killing lonely old men. Things get worse for Mortimer when his estranged brother, Jonathan, shows up with a dead body of his own. Mortimer’s other brother, Teddy, causes more stress for everyone with his antics and predisposition for waking the neighborhood with his bugle. This farcical comedy runs October 14-16 at 7:30PM, and October 17th at 2:00PM at Elkhorn High School.


Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students and can be purchased at the door. Thursday and Friday night are EMS night, and all EMS students can attend for free by showing their student ID!
