Thankfully, Mortimer Brewster, our hero, played by Doug Drake, is
not homicidal, but has to deal with his family and the NYPD as he
worries about going through with marrying the woman he loves and
next-door-neighbor Elaine, played by Melissa Cremeens.
His family includes two spinster aunts, played by Nancy Nickerson
and Carol Woodrum, who have taken to murdering lonely old men by
poisoning them with a glass of homemade elderberry wine laced with
arsenic and a few other choice ingredients.
This surprisingly delightful show is directed by an amazing tag-team
of talent in Lincoln’s own Brandon Davis, Tim Searby, and Carolyn
Schreiber.
Davis also acts in the production in the role of Teddy Brewster, who
believes he is Teddy Roosevelt.
Rounding out the hilarious cast are Steven Stowers, Andy Brant, Mike
Koke, Tegan Follis, Timber Ziegler, Ann Brookens, Brian Bolton,
Jamie Voyles, and Keith Snyder.
The set is designed and built by Jeff Prince with costumes by Lisa Kuhlman.
Props are handled by Jill Voyles, with Katie Gosda and Keith Snyder as LCT
liaisons.
Additional tech support is needed for lighting and sound. If interested, please
contact Brandon Davis at bcdavis7@gmail.com.
The show will open on Thursday, June 23 at 7:30 pm and continue at 7:30 pm on
June 24-25. The Sunday, June 26 show will be a matinee at 2 pm.
All performances will be held at the Lincoln Community High School auditorium.
Tickets are on sale now at the website www.lincolncommunitytheatre.org and will
be available at the door of each performance.
