Ken Ludwig's Leading Ladies

The Village Players of Hatboro is proud to kick off it's 66th season with Leading Ladies, the hilarious farce by award winning playwright Ken Ludwig (writer of the Tony Award winning "Lend Me a Tenor" and "Crazy For You").

When down on their luck actors Leo (Walter March) and Jack (Tim Schumann) hear that heiress Florence Snyder (Anastasia Cleaver) wants to leave part of her fortune to her long lost relatives Max and Steve, they think their luck has changed; impersonate Max and Steve, collect the money, and run. Then they find out Max and Steve are actually Maxine and Stephanie.

Things only become more complicated when Leo, as Maxine, begins to fall for Florence's niece, Meg (Ashley Scheiber). Worse, Meg is engaged to the local minister Duncan (Bob Petrik), who was really looking forward to his future wife receiving the entire inheritance, and immediately becomes suspicious of the "ladies." And poor Jack can't help but fall for the lovely, but ditzy, Audrey (Sarah Graham), yet his alter ego Stephanie has drawn the eye of both Doc (Clint Cleaver) and his son Butch (Sean Hegarty). How long can they keep themselves under cover (and in high heels)?
