"Arsenic and Old Lace" at East Lynne Theater

This Joseph Kesselring’s comedy about two sisters who populate their cellar with “acceptable” lodgers, broke all ELTC box office records in 2018! One of their nephews thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, another is running away from the law, and the third is a theater critic who just wants to get married. “It’s hard to imagine a more diverting piece of summer fun than Gayle Stahlhuth’s revival of “Arsenic and Old Lace” at ELTC. It crackles flawlessly,” wrote Terry Teachout in his review for “The Wall Street Journal” last summer.
