2016 Mar 24

ln mid-October, students put on several productions of Arsenic and Old Lace, a black comedy about the Brewster family with homicidal tendencies. The protagonist, Mortimer Brewster, uncovers a ghastly secret about his two aunts and is torn between family loyalty and marriage to his lover. The arrival of his brother complicates affairs even further.

Performances were given on October 14th to the 17th. Nick took on the role of Mortimer Brewster. Nick and the other performers spent weeks in preparation for the fall play.

Mark Dryfoos, Director of Performing Arts, says, "Arsenic and Old Lace is a wonderful play; I am proud of my cast and appreciate all of their hard work to make this production a success."
