Leading Ladies

by Ken Ludwig

September 30 and October 1, 7, 8    2011

8:00 pm

 

In this hilarious comedy two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves “down on their luck” and 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 get the cash. But when they get to York they find the relatives aren't nephews but nieces!

 

"Ludwig's newest farce is so funny, it will make sophisticated and reasonable men and women of the 21st century cackle till their faces hurt." - Houston Press

 

"Leading Ladies is a highly combustible and continuously hilarious comedy by Ken Ludwig, Broadway's reigning gagmeister." - Cleveland Plain Dealer

Wrong Window

by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore

January 20, 21, 27, 28    2012

8:00 pm

This comedy “whodunit” is a tribute to Master of Horror, Alfred Hitchcock. Off-and-on-again New York couple Marnie and Jeff enter an even more complicated phase of their relationship when they think that they spy their cross-courtyard neighbor do away with his wife.

“A barrage of gag-filled dialogue. Knee-slappingly funny from start to finish! Take the money and run to this window before it closes!" - Philip Dorian, Two River Times

"Fever-pitched one liners, puns, slapstick, pratfalls...with wacky anything for a laugh adventuring.” -Tom Chesek, Asbury Park Press

“With snappy dialogue peppered with Hitchcock film titles, allusions and references, plus laughs aplenty, Wrong Window is a right choice for an evening’s entertainment.” -Syracuse.com
