Aunt Martha and Aunt Abby greet Mr. Withers¬ poon with smiles upon his arrival. As Lieutenant Rooney (Steve Ballantine) announces that the Happydale contract is signed as Mr. Witherspoon objects “Arsenic and Old Lace” directed by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Lowe, was said to have been one of the most out¬ standing and superb plays that has been produced by the Lake Central Theatre Guild. All credit goes to Mr. and Mrs. Lowe and the cast for their dedication. Mrs. Lowe thought of “Arsenic and Old Lace” as being one of the most boring plays ever produced. But as they started working on this play, it turned out to be one of the funniest plays ever produced at LC. All of the characters portrayed their parts with excellence. Aunt Martha (Sheli Chermak) and Aunt Abby (Mary Mysliwiec) are congratulating and giving advice to Elaine (Beth Bachnak) on their soon-to-be marriage plans. Elaine seems to be happy about the whole idea of marriage Mortimer (Tony Gruttaduaro) who was never fond of his brother Jonathan (Mark Perrings) trys to threaten his brother into leaving the Brewster house immediately and tells him never to return again.
