‘LEADING LADIES’
In this comedy, two English Shakespearean actors, Leo and Jack, find themselves so down on their luck that they’re performing “Scenes from Shakespeare” on the Moose Lodge circuit in Pennsylvania Amish country.
But then, what luck! They hear that dear old Florence of nearby York, PA is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews whom she has never seen. For Jack and Leo it is the work of an instant to turn themselves into nephews Max and Steve and grab the cash. And that’s when the complications set in…
Romantic entanglements abound, as “Some Like It Hot” meets “Twelfth Night” in this screwball comedy filled with bad behavior, high heels and a world of comedy.
Come join the cast of Ken Ludwig’s “Leading Ladies” for a dinner theater at Life Community Church Auditorium.
