Arsenic and Old Lace
Joseph Kesselring’s classic comedy Arsenic and Old Lace follows Mortimer Brewster, a relatively normal drama critic whose newly engaged bliss is shattered when he discovers his sweet, spinster aunts have a chilling hobby of "mercifully" poisoning lonely old men with arsenic-laced elderberry wine.
As Mortimer frantically tries to cover up their crimes and keep them out of prison, the family's Brooklyn home descends into total chaos with the arrival of his two eccentric brothers: Teddy, who firmly believes he is Theodore Roosevelt and digs graves in the cellar under the delusion he is excavating the Panama Canal, and Jonathan, a psychopathic serial killer on the run who shows up with his alcoholic accomplice and a fresh corpse of his own to hide.
What ensues is a hilarious, fast-paced farce as Mortimer desperately attempts to manage the mounting body count, outwit his sinister brother, keep his fiancée in the dark, and somehow preserve his own sanity.

2026 A.C.T Musical:
Seussical Jr.
Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat and all of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical JR., a fantastical musical extravaganza from Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.
Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that's been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him.
Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!
