'togfe®?© IP®sUmm 1?®B0 IPBmy The 1986 Fall Play was the comedy Arsenic and Old Lace. In the play, two elderly ladies, played by Misti Ludwick and Sandy Packard, feel they are doing elderly men a mercy by killing them with poisoned elderberry wine. They are helped by their insane nephew, who thinks he is Theodore Roosevelt, in burying the gentlemen in their cellar. Teddy was played by Steve Pearson. When their other nephew Mortimer Brewster, (Cort Skoog), finds a body in the window seat he thought Teddy killed him. He wanted Teddy to be institutionalized immediately. Then the aunts were paid an unexpected visit by their third and last nephew, Jonthon, (Chris Hopkins) and his friend, Dr. Einstein (Joe Ferguson). Jonthon hadn't been home since he was a boy and he wasn't the kind of person you wanted to welcome into your home. This play was directed by Mr. Raymond Monte and student directed by Darryl Curtis. In charge of lighting was Cathy O'Mally. 5. 1. Joe, Chris, Sandy and Misti chat about old times. 2. Cort and Becky have a lovers quarrel. 3.
