Free Join us for "Open Rehearsal Night" as the university's highly acclaimed Department of Theatre & Dance prepares for its upcoming "Front of the Curtain Festival," scheduled for August 10 - 13, 2011. This informative and entertaining evening will provide audience members with a fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse of the theatre world and the rehearsal processof Joseph Kesselring's classic comedy hit, Arsenic & Old Lace, as well as new dance works performed by the department's talented faculty members and students.
In Arsenic & Old Lace we meet charming yet murderous ladies who have taken to "populating" their cellar with the remains of elderly gentlemen with the assistance of their brother who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt; and their nephew Mortimer who has just gotten married, and is trying to negotiate his way around the shenanigans of the house, while trying to keep his new bride from fleeing. This slapstick comedy was made into a film in 1944 starring Cary Grant.
