Leading Ladies January 29, 2011

Two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing "Scenes from Shakespeare" on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. When they hear that an old lady in York, PA is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and collect the cash. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces! Romantic entanglements abound, especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoat in love with the old ladys vivacious niece, Meg, whos engaged to the local minister. With large splashes of 'Some Like it Hot,' 'Twelfth Night' and 'Charlies Aunt,' this new play by Ken Ludwig is sure to have you rolling in the aisles.
