“Larceny and Old Lace,” a spoof of “Arsenic and Old Lace” will be performed onstage Friday night, May 4 at 7 p.m. and Sunday afternoon, May 6 at 2 p.m. at the Many Community Center, according to Janet Elam, director.
Last year, Elam directed another teen play at the request of the Sabine Parish School Board Office. A talented actress herself, Elam has appeared in numerous Sabine Parish Players’ productions directed by Mary Bozeman, and in several productions at the First United Methodist Church of Many. Her comedic and theatrical skills were honed when she resided in Jena, performing at the Jena Little Theatre, along with her husband, Gary.
A synopsis of the play follows:
Harold Peabody, the show’s lead character, is portrayed by Alex Webb of Zwolle High. Peabody’s sweet aunts, Millie and Gertie, portrayed by Emma Campbell and Emma McElwee, are gambling in Las Vegas while Peabody stays at their home to watch over his eccentric Uncle Charlie, portrayed by Devin Heilman, who thinks he is a pirate and is constantly “burying treasure” in the basement.
