L EADING L ADIES
Tom Burns and Kathleen Morrow get acquainted at cane-point in “Leading Ladies,” a comedy by Ken Ludwig and directed by
Bruce Ludwig (no relation). This is the first show for Big Britches Productions’ 2020 season, once again at the Bingen Theater.
The 10-performance run began Feb. 7. See On Stage, at left, for tickets and times. The story revolves around two English Shake-
spearean actors, Leo and Jack, played by Joe Garoutte and Jacob Camp, who find themselves so down on their luck that they are
performing “Scenes from Shakespeare” on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. When they hear that
an old lady 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. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren’t nephews, but niec-
es. Complications, some romantic, ensue. Also in the cast are David Dye, April Sampson, Amber Sheaves, and Texx Spezia-Shwiff.
