This week on State of Art we’re joined by “Arsenic and Old Lace” director MaryAlice Larmi to discuss the fast-paced farce. It centers on Mortimer Brewster and his maniacal family including spinster aunts who have a habit of murdering lonely old men, a brother on the run from the law and one who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt. She tells us about what to expect, casting the right performers, and acting icon Boris Karloff’s contribution to Anchorage Community Theater’s 1957 production of the play.
