Auditions for Arsenic And Old Lace at Depot Theatre

It's 1941, Brooklyn, NY., and Mortimer Brewster, a New York theatre critic is finally getting hitched to Elaine Harper, the girl next door. Mortimer stops in to deliver his good news to his two eccentric maiden aunts, Abby and Martha Brewster, who care for Mortimer's brother Teddy, a bugle blowing nut-bag who thinks he's Theodore Roosevelt. Mortimer soon discovers to his horror, that his dear sweet old aunties have a strange charity. They lure lonely old gentlemen into their home and serve them homemade Elderberry Wine spiked with arsenic. To make matters worse, Mortimer's deranged and very dangerous brother Jonathan shows up. Jonathan is on the run from the law, has a dead body in the trunk of his car, a drunken plastic surgeon at his side, and a face that looks like Boris Karloff. Mortimer frantically attempts to deal with dead bodies, insane asylum directors, attempted murders and a new bride, all in one crazy Halloween night.
