As the first play Cambrian Players ever produced in 1949, Arsenic & Old Lace has been performed in Thunder Bay every 25 years since. To mark our 75th Anniversary, Cambrian Players is pleased to present a special staged play reading: A Celebration of Arsenic & Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring, directed by Cheryl Silen.

Join us on Saturday, January 18 for A Celebration of Arsenic & Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring. Mortimer Brewster is living a happy life: he has a steady job at a prominent New York newspaper, he’s just become engaged, and he gets to visit his sweet spinster aunts to announce the engagement. Mortimer always knew that his family had a bit of a mad gene but his world is turned upside down when he realizes that his dear aunts have been poisoning lonely old men for years! When Mortimer’s maniacal brother, Jonathan (who strangely now resembles Boris Karloff) returns on the night that the aunts were planning to bury the newest victim, Mortimer must rally to help his aunts and protect his fiancé — all while trying to keep his own sanity as well.
