Arsenic and Old Lace tells the hilarious story of spinster sisters Abby and Martha Brewster, (Faye Northcutt-Knox and Becky Coutras) two sweet old ladies who murder lonely old men by offering them elderberry wine laced with arsenic.

The sisters' crazy but harmless nephew Teddy (Bill White) believes he is Teddy Roosevelt and is in the habit of charging up the staircase as if it were San Juan Hill. Teddy digs graves in the Brewster cellar, burying the sisters' victims whom he believes are yellow fever casualties working on the Panama Canal.

Complications set in when their nephew Mortimer (Justin Winton) learns of the sisters' activities; and matters get more farcical when another Brewster nephew, Jonathan, (Joe Bosnak) a criminal on the lam, along with the strange Dr. Einstein, (Ted Verbeten) arrive with the body of their latest victim.

Directed by Matt Smith and produced by Mary Ellen Smith, Arsenic & Old Lace also features Phil Mote, Rachel Parker, Lynn England, Wesley Rutledge, Matt Hunter, and Jonathan Higdon.
