With a dream job as a drama critic for a prominent New York newspaper and recent engagement to his sweetheart Elaine, what could go wrong? Well, what about finding out that his sweet, spinster aunts Martha and Abby have been poisoning lonely old men for years with homemade elderberry wine laced with a touch of arsenic. More? What about learning that his brother Teddy, who thinks himself to be Teddy Roosevelt, has been burying his aunts' victims in the basement thinking they succumbed to Yellow Fever at the Panama Canal. Had enough? How about Mortimer's other brother, the maniacal criminal Jonathan, who decides to hideout from the police at his aunts' house with alcoholic sidekick, Dr. Einstein, on the same night that the aunts were planning to bury their latest victim, which also happens to be the same night Mortimer stops by with his fiancée. Mix in multiple policemen, including one who wants to be a playwright, and Elaine's pious minister father, Mortimer must rally to help his aunts and protect his fiancé - all while trying to keep his own sanity and avoid his murderous brother's intentions. The cast includes: Christian Achkar as Mortimer Tammy Carder as Abby Brewster Norene Jones as Martha Brewster Brian O. Jackson as Jonathan Brad Lane as Teddy Victoria Kirgesner as Elaine Will Bennett as Dr. Einstein Mark Moore as Rev. Harper Glen Johnson as Officer Brophy Steve Bronfman as Mr. Gibbs/Mr. Witherspoon Nathan Hill as Officer O'Hara The producer for Arsenic and Old Lace is Gary Maher; Mike Guffey is the stage manager; Kyle Shearer is the lighting designer; Kimberly Borukhovsky is the costume designer; the set is designed by Sally Marquinez and Tim Steiner, and Marianne Carlson is doing props.
