Cary Grant is nowhere to be found, but the current generation of actors are ready for their close-up.

Taking on a play which inspired a classic film starring Mr. Grant, the Coupeville Wolf PAC Theatre Troupe is prepared to tackle Arsenic and Old Lace.

The play, which sprang from the mind of Joseph Kesserling, runs the first two weekends in March.

Show times are 7 PM Mar. 3-4 and 10-11 in the Performing Arts Center at Coupeville High School.

Arsenic and Old Lace is a classic story about two little old ladies who harbor a secret beneath their “charming and innocent” exterior — they’re stashing bodies in the cellar.

Toss in the antics of their nephews, one of whom thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, and things get wild ‘n woolly.

CHS Troupe Members involved in the production include:

Jakobi Baumann as Officer O’Hara
Jaschon Baumann as Officer Klein
Desirae Bradley as Martha Brewster
Robin Cedillo (stage manager)
Bree Daigneault as Abby Brewster
Seth Hedges as Mr. Witherspoon
Ja’Tarya Hoskins (props master)
Tiger Johnson (booth wizard)
Christian King as the Rev. Dr. Harper
Nikolai Lyngra as Mortimer Brewster
McKenzie Meyer as Elaine Harper
Tamika Nastali as Teddy
Elaira Nicolle as Mr. Gibbs
Thane Peterson (booth wizard)
Marenna Rebischke-Smith as Lieutenant Rooney
Madison Rixe as Dr. Einstein
Helen Sinclair as Officer Brophy
Dexter Thorn as Mr. Spenalzo
Eric Wertz as Jonathan Brewster

The troupe is a diverse bunch, with members also participating in National Honor Society, Science Olympiad, jazz band, ASB, cheerleading, the school board and every sport played by the Wolves.
