Arsenic and Old Lace

Something funny is going on at the Brewster house. In fact, something hilarious is going on at the Brewster house. The Catonsville Dinner Theater invites you to tea with the Brewster sisters Abby and Martha, their rather eccentric nephew Teddy, their nephew Mortimer the theater critic, and a steady stream of callers, including a sinister pair of criminals who are definitely up to no good.

Come find out what’s afoot (or is it a shoe?) in the Brewster household in Joseph Kesselring’s Arsenic and Old Lace. This classic play has something for everyone: lovable characters, romance, mystery, travel to exotic places, a few surprises, and plenty of laughter.

Arsenic and Old Lace will be presented at the West Baltimore Methodist United Church, 5130 Greenwich Avenue, weekends from March 23 through April 1. Curtain time for Friday and Saturday shows is 8 p.m., and Sunday curtain time is 3 p.m.  Tickets are $15 and are available on the Catonsville Dinner Theater website at http://www.cdtshows.com or at the door (cash or personal checks only). Please note that online credit card purchases are subject to an additional $2 service fee. Doors will open one hour before curtain, and light fare will be available for purchase. To make your reservations, call 410-917-2911.
