Fountain Hills Community Theater is currently presenting the classic comedy Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring on its Mainstage.

Arsenic and Old Lace tells the hilarious story of spinster sisters Abby and Martha Brewster, two sweet old ladies who murder lonely old men by offering them elderberry wine laced with arsenic. The sisters' crazy but harmless nephew Teddy believes he is Teddy Roosevelt and is in the habit of charging up the staircase as if it were San Juan Hill. Teddy digs graves in the Brewster cellar, burying the sisters' victims whom he believes are yellow fever casualties working on the Panama Canal. Complications set in when their nephew Mortimer learns of the sisters' activities; and matters get more farcical when another Brewster nephew, Jonathan, a criminal on the lam, along with the strange Dr. Einstein, arrive with the body of their latest victim.

Arsenic and Old Lace is produced by Patricia Tonzi and directed by Peter J. Hill.  The production stars Jeff Brown, Mike Druckman, Bill Graham, Harry Freedman, Corene Heaps, Ukiah Odom, Mark A. Openchowski, Kirk Pieper, Roger Prenger, Michael Stewart, Tiana Torrilhon, Shirley Windhorst and Curt Wooley.
