The Black Box Theatre at McHenry County College is proud to announce their Fall 2025 production of Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring, directed by Jay Geller, running Fridays-Sundays, Oct. 31-Nov. 16.

Set in Brooklyn, New York in the 1940s, Arsenic and Old Lace follows drama critic Mortimer Brewster as he discovers his sweet, elderly aunts have a deadly secret: they poison lonely old men with elderberry wine laced with arsenic. As Mortimer tries to deal with his eccentric family — including a brother who thinks he’s Theodore Roosevelt and another who’s a homicidal maniac — chaos and hilarity ensue.
