MHS CAST PLAYS WITH POISON “Arsenic and Old Lace”, a comedy by Joseph Kesselring, was chosen as the annual spring production of the MHS Speech and Dramatics Club. The comedy was the story of two charming and innocent old ladies, played by Lisa Doran and Candy Smythe, who populated their cellar with the remains of lonely old people. The Brewster sisters felt that they were helping these people by ending their loneliness. Teddy Brewster, their deranged nephew kept the old house buzzing with his mistaken belief that he was Theodore Roosevelt. Teddy was played by Terry Jacks. Jerry Hudson portrayed Jonathon Brewster, the black sheep of the family, who returned to his childhood home in Brooklyn seeking refuge from the law. Mortimer Brewster, played by Alan Welch, soon realized that he was the only sane person in the family, and as such was forced to be responsible for for the zany actions of his relatives. CAST—On stair: Alan Welch, Barb Tibbets, Jerry Hudson, Darrell Hudson, Jim McFadden, Nancy Ettinger, Brian Kelley, Theresa Ed- wards, Anje Anglin, Carol Crissinger, Jay Robinson, Brett Hackworth.
