“Step into a world of lace doilies, vintage tunes, and darkly funny secrets hidden in a sweet old Brooklyn home,” the Theatre Guild’s social media page invites.
The home belongs to two sweet aunties, sisters Abby and Martha Brewster, played by Charisse Skinner and Elsie McCombs. But there is something not quite right with the Brewster family: the aunts are eccentric; young Teddy Brewster, played by Arrow Bowman, believes he is the 23rd President of the United States, Teddy Roosevelt; his brother Mortimer Brewster, played by Nico Anderson, says it best when he says, "Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops."
It’s not so much a “who done it?” story as it is “who drank the poison?” Be ready to laugh and be surprised.
The June Bug Center is located at 251 Parkway Lane S. Learn more about the show and purchase tickets at www.junebugcenter.org.
