From March 13 to the 29th I will be performing in Arsenic and Old Lace as Jonathan Brewster (Raymond Massey in the 1944 Frank Capra film) at Playcrafters in Skippack, PA (where I last appeard in Shakespeare’s The Tempest.). This darkly comedic tale follows the delightful yet macabre antics of two elderly sisters who serve poisoned wine to lonely gentlemen in their Brooklyn boarding house. I’m one of three unlikely brothers who are nephews of these spinsters. For tickets and information: playcrafters.org or (610) 584-4005.
Sam Gugino shines as Ira Drew, a malicious, no-talent theater critic with a drawer full of trashy plays. (When not in the limelight, Gugino still makes you feel Ira’s envious yearning to be on stage.)
It’s Only a Play
