WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Mount Greylock Regional School presents "Arsenic and Old Lace" in the school’s auditorium at 1781 Cold Spring Road in Williamstown. Performances are May 8 and 9 at 7 p.m.

According to a press release:

Charity. Hijinks. Murder. When Abby and Martha Brewster take it upon themselves to put lonely men out of their misery, their nephew Mortimer is forced to cover their tracks. Adding to the chaos are Mortimer’s brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, another brother who’s a dangerous criminal, and a doctor named Einstein, but not the one you’re thinking of. Will Mortimer save his sweet, elderly aunts from spending their remaining days behind bars? Can he save his own engagement to his sweetheart, Elaine? Find out in this fast-paced, zany comedy that proves the only thing scarier than death is family.
