It's high farce and high hilarity when the murderous spinster Brewster sisters, their homemade elderberry wine laced with arsenic, strychnine and "just a pinch" of cyanide, a brother who believes he is Theodore Roosevelt, and other family members, neighbors, and local law enforcement all collide on stage. The New York Times called it "so funny that none of us will ever forget it."

Advance tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for students ($2 less than at the door) and are available at Bridgton Books, Hawthorne's Attic, Lake Region House of Pizza and Lake Region High School.
