LEADING LADIES
💄Leading Ladies
by: Ken Ludwig
Directed by: Dalton Isaac
May 16-17-18 & 23-24-25
Called “A cross between Some Like it Hot & 12th Night,” this hilarious comedy by the author of Lend Me A Tenor and Moon Over Buffalo, is the story of two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, 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 1952 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. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces! Romantic entanglements abound, especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoat in love with the old lady's vivacious niece, Meg, who's engaged to the local minister. Meg knows that there's a wide world out there, but it's not until she meets "Maxine and Stephanie" that she finally gets a taste of it.

⚖️A Time to Kill
by: Rupert Holmes and adapted from the 1989 John Grisham novel
Directed by: Jordan Randall
February 21-22-23 & 28 March 1-2, 2025
Carl Lee Hailey shot two men in the very courtroom where he now stands trial. But attorney Jake Brigance sees Hailey's act of vengeance against the racist men who attacked his daughter as a desperate bid for justice, and he's willing to risk everything to defend his client's life. As the trial heats up, the community is torn apart in this gripping adaptation of John Grisham's incendiary novel about race, crime, and family in small-town America that asks the question: when is it right to take justice into your own hands?
