AUDITIONS SCHEDULED FOR ARSENIC AND OLD LACE

TITUSVILLE, Aug. 26 - Auditions for the Titusville Winter Theatre production of Arsenic and Old Lace will be held Tuesday, September 7, and Thursday, September 9, at 7:00 p.m. in the President’s Conference Room of McKinney Hall at the University of Pittsburgh at Titusville.

Under the direction of UPT President Michael Worman, Arsenic and Old Lace will bring to the stage a classic comedy of a family run rampant with insanity, with only one sane nephew to sort out a mess of murder and mayhem.  The film version stars Cary Grant in the role of Mortimer Brewster, the bewildered nephew of two endearing elderly aunts who commit murder as a kindness to lonely men with no families.

Three female and eleven male actors are needed for the production, as well as a backstage manager and lighting technicians.

The performance is scheduled November 4, 5, and 6, at 7:30 p.m. in Henne Auditorium at UPT.

Arsenic and Old Lace is the fall TWT production of the 2004-2005 Spotlight Series, a cooperative venture between UPT and the Titusville Winter Theatre.

For more information about auditions, contact the Director, Dr. Michael Worman, at 827-4420.
