CONWAY DINNER THEATER: Arsenic and Old Lace a farcical black comedy revolving around the Brewster family, descended from the "Mayflower," but now composed of insane homicidal maniacs. Like the sweet, charming, genteel Brewster sisters, known in their Brooklyn neighborhood for many charitable acts. The one charity that is not advertised is euthanizing old bachelors to die with smiles on their faces--elderberry wine spiked with arsenic is the preferred method. Nephew Mortimer stumbles onto their secret, just as his murderous, escaped-convict older brother Jonathan returns home with his sniveling accomplice Dr. Einstein. To further complicate the situation, something must be done about Teddy- the trumpet blasting younger brother who believes that he's really Theodore Roosevelt. Dinner starts at 6 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through August 2. For more information or to reserve seating, visit faulkneracademyofarts.org.
