Reviews March 7, 2022 Mike Zellhofer

Arsenic Silliness of Baltimore, no wait, that’s not right. A Summer of Brewsters, no that doesn’t sound right either. Oh, I remember, it’s Arsenic & Old Lace at Artistic Synergy of Baltimore!

The Biltmore Garage wants a
grand, but we ain’t got a grand on hand. And they now got a lock on the door to
