For your enjoyment, we present the dark comedy, Arsenic and Old Lace.
STORY: Drama critic Mortimer Brewster’s engagement announcement is upended when he discovers a corpse in his elderly aunts’ window seat. Mortimer rushes to tell Abby and Martha before they stumble upon the body themselves, only to learn that the two old women aren’t just aware of the dead man in their parlor, they killed him! Between his aunts’ penchant for poisoning wine, a brother who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, and another brother using plastic surgery to hide from the police—not to mention Mortimer’s own hesitancy about marriage—it’ll be a miracle if Mortimer makes it to his wedding. Arsenic and Old Lace is a classic black comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: family.

Performances on July 18-19 and July 25-26 at 8 PM.
Matinee performances on July 19 and July 27 at 2 PM.
Taking place at Erindale Studio Theatre, U of T Mississauga.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
This expansive exhibition highlights the longstanding practice of Maroon Canadian, Mississauga-based artist Winsom Winsom. Featuring both existing and new bodies of work by this senior artist and self-described “child of the universe,” The Search for the Black Madonna and Green Tara traces the trajectory of Winsom’s emotional, physical, and spiritual journeys. The exhibition will include both solo components as well as a collaborative project with Winsom’s daughter Tara Darrall that explores the layers of their complex mother-daughter relationship through a suite of paintings. Guided by aspects of the seven chakras, these works are a meditation on the artists’ intertwined development of their identities.

Come join us for a day filled with creativity and joy at the Small Arms Inspection Building (SAIB) in Mississauga! This event combines an exciting art exhibition showcasing talented artists with an engaging art workshop, art vendors and a community art wall where you can unleash your inner artist. Not only will you be immersed in the beauty of art, but you will also be helping the fight against cancer. Attention: Artist, Vendors, and Volunteers please see the call for submissions, vendors and volunteers below.
This event is being held in collaboration and in support of the Cancer Research Society, based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. For more than 80 years, the Cancer Research Society (CRS) has been one of the only Canadian philanthropic organizations entirely dedicated to funding research on all types of cancer. Since its inception, the CRS has supported thousands of researchers who have made significant advances in cancer prevention, detection, and treatment. CRS has invested $423 million since 1945.
This event is the first annual Herbert HL Townsend fundraiser to raise $45,000 ($1,400 raised to date) and is being established on behalf of the late Paulette and Joseph Townsend in honour of the late Herb (pictured in the banner above), who tragically died in January 2016, eight weeks after being diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and 27 days before his 41st birthday. Herbert’s mother, Paulette, died the following year in October 2017 at the age of 74 of Rectal Cancer, and his brother Joe died a few years later in November 2022 at the age of 50 from extreme grief. Although Herb was the youngest, both Paulette and Joe looked up to him. He was their hero.
