Directed by Rich Jorn, rehearsals are now under way for the Three Chicks and a Stage production of Arsenic and Old Lace at the Effingham Performance Center.  Popular local actors, Jo Thomas and Lydia Sanchez-Hatfill play the Brewster sisters, Abby and Martha, two innocent ladies who populate their cellar with the remains of socially and religiously “acceptable” gentlemen.  Nephew Mortimer (T.  J. Bleeker) discovers the corpse of Mr. Hoskins, a Methodist, in the window seat and learns of the sisters’ “charity” requiring arsenic-laced elderberry wine.  Hilarious pandemonium follows through uproarious scenes with outrageously funny characters in this classic written by Joseph Kesselring.

Show dates for Arsenic and Old Lace are Friday, September 9, Saturday, September 10 at 7:00 pm. and Sunday, September 11 at 2:00 pm.  Due to special staging, seating will be limited to 200 tickets per show.  Adult tickets cost $25 each while children 12 and under are $12.50 each.  They are available at the EPC during Box Office hours, 217-540-2788, 1325 Outer Belt West, Effingham.

Three Chicks and a Stage is a non-profit theatre company in residence at the Effingham Performance Center.
