In this Joseph Kesselring play, Mortimer Brewster (portrayed by Caleb Estrada) is simply trying to announce his engagement, but his situation with his brothers (portrayed by Adam Armstrong and Christopher Hewitt) and aunts (portrayed by Kathrine Newton and Sandy Webb) may keep him from doing so. Complete with murder and mayhem, Mortimer’s obstacles to matrimony are insanely funny. Will he ever make it to the altar?
With a fabulous cast and crew and a beautiful set, you won’t want to miss your chance to see this classic comedy about the one thing more dangerous than poison: family. Come out and support the Arts in East Texas while enjoying PCT’s beautiful, historic facility.
