One of the characters in Arsenic and Old Lace is Adam Hoskins. He is the dead man in the window seat when the show opens. Adam is played by himself, an experienced and traveled trouper. He has appeared in at least three productions of Arsenic being seen in productions with the Avon Players, Stagecrafters, and now the Guild.


Here’s Adam resting in the shop. He has startled a lot of the cast and crew when they suddenly and unexpectedly stumbled upon him.

Cast member Rob Eagal carried Hoskins into the Club Room during one of the final rehearsals. It was decided to let Adam stay in the shop during the run of the show.
