Ever wonder what 2 old women with limited supervision and lots of Arsenic can get into?
The Barn III is thrilled to bring Joseph Kesselring’s Comedy Murder Mystery - “Arsenic & Old Lace” - back to The Barn stage! This hilarious show was beloved by Barn audiences in 1978 and 1996…third time’s a charm, right?

Mortimer Brewster’s engagement announcement is upended when he discovers a corpse in his elderly aunts’ window seat. Mortimer rushes to tell Aunt Abby and Aunt 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!
