Spring play opens this week

Leading Ladies will open in the North Auditorium on April 4, 5, 6 at 7:00 p.m.

Set in York, Pennsylvania in 1958, this farce, by Ken Ludwig, centers on two down-on-their- luck Shakespearean actors, Leo Clark and Jack Gable. The pair discover through a newspaper that Florence, an older ailing woman, has been unable to find Max and Steve, her sister’s children who moved away to England as children in order to include them in her multi-million dollar inheritance. They decide to pose as Max and Steve to claim portions of it. When they discover that “Max” and “Steve” are actually “Maxine” and “Stephanie,” they continue on, undaunted, in drag. Antic fun ensues.

Most appreciated by ages 13 to adult.

CAST: Seniors Rocky Alterman, Frankie Baker and Hunter Hawkins. Junior Darby Huddleston and seniors Elizabeth James and Victoria Kee. Sophomores Michael Schley and Fuad Turkmani.

Senior Jenny Warren, Stage Manager and junior Andrew Nevins, Assistant Stage Manager.

Tickets are $8.00. For ticket information, or to make reservations, call theatre teacher, Maureen Davis at. 913-993-7119
