MORAN — Marmaton Valley High School will serve up some murderous intrigue, more than a few laughs and dessert this week.
The annual MV Dessert Theatre production of “Arsenic and Old Lace” runs Thursday and Friday in the old gymnasium. The curtain rises at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30.
The dark comedy revolves around a pair of spinster aunts who take in lonely old men, feeling bad about their situations and resorting to putting the visitors out of their misery by murdering them.
As always, the high school’s Family, Career and Community Leaders of America chapter will serve up a variety of dessert treats for spectators to enjoy during the production.
Tickets sell for $8 for adults and $5 for students.
The 12-member cast is under the direction of drama instructor Katie Farrell.
