On Wednesday, Nov. 8. and Thursday, Nov. 9 the. Meskwaki High School Drama Dept. will present Larceny and Old Lace by Van Vandagriff. The play will be performed at 7 p.m. in the Meskwaki Hgih School Gym. Admission is $5.

Audiences of all ages will love this clever and well-crafted spoof of the community theatre classic.

Harold Peabody’s sweet aunts, Millie and Gertie, are gambling in Las Vegas while Harold stays at their home to watch over his eccentric Aunt Sharlie, who thinks she 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 declares that Sharlie has buried her last treasure and decides she must go to a home for senior citizens. But Aunt Millie and Aunt Gertie can’t imagine doing such a thing.

After all, Sharlie had nothing to do with the bag of money. How do they know?

They stole it from a casino!
