Debbie Lannen, director, says audiences of all ages will enjoy Larceny and Old Lace, which she describes as a “clever and well-crafted spoof.”
The plot involves Harold Peabody's sweet aunts, Millie and Gertie, who are away in Las Vegas, while Harold stays at their home to watch over his eccentric Uncle Charlie. Uncle Charlie thinks he is a pirate and is constantly “burying treasure” in the basement. When Harold hears the local bank has been robbed and then discovers a bag of money in the house, he figures that Charlie has buried his last treasure and decides he must go to a home for senior citizens. But Aunt Millie and Aunt Gertie can't imagine doing such a thing. Mix in Harold's jailbird cousin Mordred who shows up with his own bundle of money and the pandemonium multiplies.
“I especially like when grandchildren come to see their grandparents perform. They are such an example for them as well as other seniors. It is as if they are telling the audience, ‘never stop, you can continue to be vibrant as long as you keep active,'” Lannen said. “Seniors are a unique group to direct. They bring so much enthusiasm to every rehearsal. They bring their life experiences and help in developing well rounded characters.”
