ARSENIC AND OLD LACE: A REAL KILLER “Arsenic and Old Lace concerns two sweet old ladies (Dalenc Moore and Buffy Hahn) serving arsenic-laced elderberry wine to lonely old gentlemen with no place to go. Their nephew Mortimer (Rob Bennett) discovers a body in the windowseat, awaiting disposal. Mortimer’s brother Teddy (Scott Hines), who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt, buries them in the cellar, which he believes to be the Panama Canal, as yellow fever victims. Mortimer’s other brother Jonathon (Mike Bauer) has come home, bringing with him Dr. Einstein, (Frank Kalmar) a plastic surgeon. They have brought with them another corpse, which they also want disposed of in the cellar. Mortimer and his aunts finally manage to have Teddy-sent to Happy Dale Insane Asylum and Jonathon carted off to prison. All those who worked with the fall play said that it was rewarding to have been involved in such a hilarious play. Director Tim McGlynn believed that the performances made the long rehearsals worthwhile. A - 6
