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.

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
