The Manahan Center  700 1st Street  La Salle, Illinois

Abby and Martha Brewster are two nice ladies who put lonely gentlemen out of their misery with poisoned elderberry wine. Mortimer, their nephew, is a theater critic who hates theater. His brother, Teddy, thinks he’s Theodore Roosevelt. Another brother, Jonathan, is a murderous thug on the run who looks like Boris Karloff. Throw in a minister’s daughter, a plastic surgeon and a cop who thinks he’s a playwright and the result is laughter and lots of it.
