Leading Ladies

Directed by Dustin J. Martin
March 4 to 20, 2016

By Ken Ludwig
Presented through special arrangement with Samuel French

Jack Gable and Leo Clark, both classically trained English actors, have fallen on hard times. Playing Shakespeare on the Moose Lodge circuit in Pennsylvania’s Amish country, Jack and Leo nonetheless have big Hollywood dreams. When they hear that a local old lady is searching for her long-lost English heirs, they decide to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. The only problem: it turns out the heirs aren’t nephews, but nieces!

Recalling classic gender-reversal stories like Some Like It Hot, Twelfth Night, and Bosom Buddies, Leading Ladies is a sure to please comedy from the author of Lend Me A Tenor. “A crowd-pleaser if there ever was one…the comedy is ferocious!” writes the Vancouver Province. “Highly combustible and continuously hilarious” hails The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Make Max and Steve (or Maxine and Stephanie!) part of your WCT experience.
