The Chatham Community Players is excited to present virtually staged reading of “Arsenic and Old Lace” by Joseph Kesselring as a part of their successful Sundays @ 7 play reading series. One Night ONLY – Sunday, May 23rd at 7:00 PM. David Christopher directs.
We meet the charming and innocent ladies who populate their cellar with the remains of socially and religiously “acceptable” roomers; the antics of their nephew who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt; and the activities of the other nephew—these require no further description or amplification here. “Arsenic And Old Lace” is a must a ready-made comedy hit.
