Arsenic and Old Lace

By Joseph Kesselring
Directed by Katie Sheldon

February 20^th – March 15^th, 2026

This classic, a delightfully dark comedy, feels just as fresh and funny today as it did when it first premiered, blending sharp wit with a macabre twist that speaks to the timeless absurdities of family and facade. Set in a seemingly quaint Brooklyn home, the play follows two sweet, elderly sisters with a shocking secret, a nephew who thinks he’s Theodore Roosevelt, and another with a murderous past—offering a hilariously twisted take on what lies beneath the surface of normalcy. In an age where appearances can be deceiving and truth feels stranger than fiction, ARSENIC AND OLD LACE reminds us, through laughter, how chaos often hides in the most charming places.
