The comedy runs May 6 – 15

The Spartanburg Little Theatre wraps up its 2010-2011 65th anniversary season with the classic comedy of stage and screen, “Arsenic and Old Lace.” On stage for six performances from May 6 – 13 at the Chapman Cultural Center, critics say “Arsenic” is as funny today as when it debuted in 1941.

When the elderly Abby and Martha Brewster offer their lonely gentleman callers a glass of homemade elderberry wine, the results are always fatal – and hilarious. It’s up to their young nephew Mortimer to deal with his homicidal aunts, his uncle who believes he’s Teddy Roosevelt, his newly betrothed fiancé and his murderous brother who has recently undergone plastic surgery to look like Boris Karloff, all while trying to keep the police at bay.

Tickets for “Arsenic and Old Lace” are available by calling the Chapman Cultural Center box office at 864-542-2787 or by ordering on line at www.chapmanculturalcenter.org.
