Casting Teen Performers for "Arsenic and Old Lace" Show
Auditions for "Arsenic and Old Lace" are open for performers ages 13 and up. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Between Mortimer Brewster’s hesitancy about marriage, his aunts’ penchant for poisoning wine, a brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, and another brother using plastic surgery to hide from the police, it’ll be a miracle if Mortimer makes it to his own wedding! ARSENIC AND OLD LACE is a classic dark comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: family. Additional info: Actors will do a cold read from the script.
