Weekend Countdown: 'Arsenic and Old Lace'

Hello Wednesday, so nice to see you again. We all know that for most people this means the work week and school week is half over. We are going to pick some of the fun events daily to help you plan and count down until it's the weekend again.

Our pick:

Where: 

When: Friday or Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Why go:  Theatre Arts kicks off its season with the fall production of Arsenic and Old Lace Nov. 3, but it will run twice more this weekend. The farcical black comedy was originally written in 1939 by Joseph Kesselring and is best known through its film adaptation released in 1944. Mix a little poison, two old ladies, and a nutcase family and you get a horrifying twist of events that will lead you laughing out loud at this classic comedy tale.

Check back in with the West Bloomfield Patch tomorrow for more weekend-things-to-do options.
