Returns by popular demand!  Elderberry wine anyone?

 The sweet aunts of Mortimer, Jonathan and Teddy have a secret of their own. 

Two charming sisters live in the family home in Brooklyn, offering rooms-to-rent, while populating their cellar with the remains of “acceptable” lodgers.  The nephew who lives with them thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, another nephew has a criminal record and is on the run, and the third nephew is a Broadway theater critic who is recently engaged to a lovely young woman. 

Written by Joseph Kesselring, this classic 1941 Broadway comedy hit is family entertainment at its looniest!

“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,”  -Wall Street Journal
