THE DALLES — Serious Theater will present Joseph Kesselring’s comedy “Arsenic and Old Lace” on May 17 and 18 at 7 p.m., and May 19 at 2 p.m., admission by donation, at the Zion Lutheran Church ELCA, 10th and Union streets.

This fully-staged and costumed performance will be the first traditionally-produced play that Serious Theater presents. Director Sue Matney has adapted the staging to suit the black box Sawyer Hall Theater.
