The Barn Theatre opens its 75th Anniversary Season with
"Arsenic and Old Lace", the audience-pleasing,
comedy classic about two charming and innocent old ladies who populate their cellar with the remains of their "socially and religiously acceptable" rooming-house tenants. A host of hilarious colorful characters includes the ladies' three nephews: Teddy, who believes he is Teddy Roosevelt; Jonathan, who is a serial killer; and Mortimer, the drama critic who hates the theatre. Shake them all up and you have one of Broadway's funniest and favorite comedies and a wonderful way to kick off the Barn's Diamond Jubilee Season.
"Arsenic and Old Lace"
runs September 13 through September 28, 2002 -- show times are 8:00pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 3:00pm on Sundays. Ticket price is $15; tickets for senior citizens and students are $14 on Sunday performances only.
