Teen Actors Needed for "Arsenic and Old Lace" Stage Play
"Arsenic and Old Lace" stage play in search of actors. Anyone age 16 and up may audition. Please see the details below. About the project: Drama critic Mortimer Brewster’s engagement announcement is upended when he discovers a corpse in his elderly aunts’ window seat. Mortimer rushes to tell Abby and Martha before they stumble upon the body themselves, only to learn that the two old women aren’t just aware of the dead man in their parlor, they killed him! Between 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—not to mention Mortimer’s own hesitancy about marriage—it’ll be a miracle if Mortimer makes it to his wedding. Arsenic and Old Lace is a classic black comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: family. Additional info: Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. No preparation necessary. No experience necessary. Audition requirements: see the document attached. Performance dates: February 5-8, 12-15, 2026. If you are interested, please apply.
