☀️ The Sunshine Boys
by Neil Simon Directed by: Cody Watson August 1 - 17, 2025 Al and Willie as “Lewis and Clark” were top-billed vaudevillians for over forty years. Now they aren’t even speaking. When CBS requests them for a “History of Comedy” retrospective, a grudging reunion brings the two back together, along with a flood of memories, miseries, and laughs. The story follows the attempt by a young theatrical agent to re-unite his elderly uncle, a former vaudevillian great, with his long-time stage partner for a TV reunion. Despite their celebrated reputation, the two old men have not spoken in twelve years. Besides remastering their sketch, the two men have numerous issues to work out before they are ready to return to the public eye. |

💄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.
Ken Ludwig's "Leading Ladies” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc., www.concordtheatricals.com
