CCHS put on one hilarious comedy with the drama ‘Arsenic and Old Lace’ and people loved it. It’s a comedy about two old ladies (Aunt Abby, played by Sara Shields and Aunt Martha, played by Marta Vander Top) who try to help older lonely men to a peaceful place. And to do that, why not poison them? (They don’t really. it’s a play, kind of bad if they actually did!) Their nephew, Mortimer (played by Jack Harrison) , learning of what they had done, 12 times so far, tries to prevent them from doing this again, but isn’t completely successful. He has to also deal with the return of his murderous brother Jonathan (played by Nathaniel Koppendrayer) and his not-so-bright assistant doctor, Dr. Herman Einstein ( Played by Kellie Hedberg). Throughout the play, Mortimer tries to get rid of his brother, deal with his aunts unusual hobby, marry the love of his life Elaine (Played by Sophie Berkenpas) who has no idea what Mortimer has been through in a single day, and deal with the other quirky characters who have some untimely visits . Directed by Mrs. McCarthy-Vogel and Mrs. Kubacki-Postma, the cast managed to prepare and present a great comedy with the help of all the actors and behind-the-scenes volunteers at CCHS. By the spring time, another performance will be in the works and ready to present to the community. Thanks for a great performance cast, directors, and crew!
