Hey all you lively Mercer County folk! Mercer County High School is excited to announce their spring drama production is a murder comedy called “Arsenic & Old Lace.”
This 1940s Joseph Kesselring play is about two elderly sisters who invite lonely, old men to their house and poison them with elderberry wine. They bury their gentlemen down in the cellar with the help of their nephew, who thinks he is digging locks for the Panama Canal.
There will be two performances at the Mercer County High School auditorium: Friday, March 12 and Saturday, March 13 at 7:00 p.m. Advance tickets may be purchased from cast members or by calling the high school office 309.582.2223 or e-mailing Mrs. Staley lstaley@mercerschools.org Tickets are available at the door: adults $5 and students $3
Hope to see you there!
