Curtain Ready to Go Up on Drama Production this Weekend
Good old-fashioned fun is what this weekend’s Huntington High School drama club production of “Arsenic and Old Lace” is all about. The curtain will go up at 8 p.m. both Friday and Saturday nights in the recently renovated high school auditorium. Tickets are available at the door.
Drama advisor Mike Schwendemann and the club’s student-actors have been rehearsing long hours to bring the production to perfection. The show is billed as a horror comedy that audience members of all ages will find enjoyable and sure to produce plenty of laughs and “just enough” creepiness to give younger patrons “a shiver or two when you send them off to bed,” Mr. Schwendemann said.
“On the second weekend of November, let yourself be transported back in time to 1942 Brooklyn where you will meet the Brewster family, Abby and Martha, two charming and innocent ladies who populate their cellar with the remains of socially and religiously ‘acceptable’ roomer; the antics of their three nephews, Mortimer, the drama critic for a major New York newspaper, Teddy, who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt and Jonathan, who bears a striking resemblance to Boris Karloff,” according to promotional material distributed by the drama club.
Tickets ($10 general admission, $5 for students, staff and senior citizens) will be available in the auditorium lobby prior to each show. The facility is completely handicapped accessible.
