In a season

that features some of the most famous plays in American history, including

"Our Town," "To Kill A Mockingbird" and "Annie,"

Newnan Community Theatre Company will present one of America's most beloved

comedies, "Arsenic and Old Lace" for three straight weekends

starting this Friday.

The story takes

place in a boarding house run by two aging sisters, Abby and Martha, played

in the past, the two men who currently live there are their slightly insane

bother Teddy, who believes he is Teddy Roosevelt, and Mortimer, their

theater critic nephew. What Mortimer, played by Bert Lyons, and Teddy,

played by Mike Maloy, don't know is that many of the former guests have

been poisoned and are buried in the basement.

Everything

comes to light one evening when Mortimer's brother, the evil Jonathan,

played by John McKeeman, decides to hide out at the house with his accomplice

Dr. Einstein, played by Jeff Allen. Add to this a mixture of police officers,

a fiancee' and other guests and you get a timeless comedy that leaves

audiences in stitches.

"Arsenic

and Old Lace" by Joseph Kesselring will be presented Friday and Saturdays

Feb. 7-22. Admission is $10 for general admission and $8 for seniors and

students. Phone 770-683-NCTC or visit https://newnantheatre.com for more
