Arsenic and Old Lace replaced by Love Letters – More Details The cast of Arsenic and Old Lace is relatively large, with eleven male roles—more than twice the number for an average, non-musical production.  Despite efforts to exhort male actors from our own list of “usual suspects,” raid the closets of neighboring theatre groups, and entice actors discovered at joint auditions held earlier this year, only three men appeared for the two audition sessions.  After many additional phone calls, another actor made an appointment for a private audition, and then didn’t show up.  In such circumstances, it was impossible to produce the play. Fortunately, Love Letters was at hand as a ready and suitable replacement.  Veteran actors Joe Narsavage and Julie Vorus very recently collaborated on a local, benefit production of this critically acclaimed, Pulitzer Prize-nominated comedy/drama.  (Joe has been with BLT for 15 seasons, winning a total of six BLT Best Actor awards in three categories; Julie made her BLT debut as the controlling, manipulative Bunny Sutherland in The Hallelujah Girls and has acted in productions for 15 theatre companies, three films, and more than a dozen TV commercials.)  See the Love Letters web page for more information.
