Leading Ladies

By Ken Ludwig

Directed by Brandon Demery

November 6 - December 6, 2009

Two struggling Shakespearean actors learn that an aging, wealthy widow in the next town is looking for two long-lost relatives to leave an inheritance. Down on their luck, the desperate men decide to pull off a caper. When they find out the heiress are two young nieces, they improvise. Impersonating two young women should be easy for trained actors, but things go wrong when they meet the beautiful Meg and her friend Audrey, fall in love and start getting caught- one moment with their skirts up, and the next with their pants down. In the end they find love and their true identities- of course- but getting there is true hilarity. A Shakespearean “Some Like It Hot,” Leading Ladies is a brand new version of the classic story of love misled by mistaken identity.
