The Melrose Players Present ...
Arsenic and Old Lace
For the clan known as Brewster insanity runs in the family. Two sweet old aunts take it upon themselves to poison lonely old men with nothing to live for, as an act of charity. Their nephew Mortimer has just gotten engaged, and is trying to negotiate his way around the shenanigans of the house, while trying to keep his fiancé from fleeing. Shady brother Jonathan returns from a world adventure involving using corpses to change his appearance to allude capture. The merry mayhem continues with bugle-blowing brother Teddy who is charged with burial duties.
Under the direction of Bob Stanhope, our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students have worked hard to produce another great play this year. Performances of Arsenic and Old Lace will be held in the gym on Friday, May 1 and Saturday May 2. The curtain is at 7:30pm. Please make plans to attend this event as it showcases the talents of our student actors!
