Center High School Drama Department proudly presents "Arsenic & Old Lace", a mystery/comedy this weekend. The show will run at 7pm and April 4, 5, and 6 in Garrison Auditorium at the High School (8715 Holmes).
The play is a farcical comedy revolving around the Brewster family, descended from Mayflower settlers but now composed of maniacs, most of them homicidal. The hero, Mortimer Brewster, is a drama critic who must deal with his crazy, murderous family and local police in Brooklyn, New York, as he debates whether to go through with his recent promise to marry the woman he loves, Elaine Harper, who lives next door and is the daughter of the local minister.
Tickets are $7.00 and can be purchased online here. Support our CHS thespians and enjoy a wonderful show.
