PENSACOLA, Fla. — When two down on their luck Shakespearean actors hear that an elderly woman is trying to locate her long-lost nephews so she can leave them everything she owns, the two men head to York, Penn. to pass themselves off as her missing loved ones.

When they arrive in York, they find that their source was misinformed — the woman is seeking her nieces instead. The two men resolve to play the parts anyway, with hilarious results.

“Leading Ladies” is a comedy by Ken Ludwig, author of “Lend Me a Tenor” and “Moon Over Buffalo.”

The cast features many familiar faces to PLT audiences. Itinerant actors Leo Clark and Jack Gable are played by Mark Sargent and Robert Paul. The cast also includes Rodney Walker, Darin Hyer, Johnathon Mitchell, Carolyn Richardson Ward, Carly Spade and Barbara Jacobs.

The play is directed by PLT Artistic Director Jerry Ahillen.

“Leading Ladies” will be performed for two weekends at Pensacola Little Theatre.

Tickets are $22, $18 and $15, with discounts available for seniors (60+), active-duty military, full-time students and groups of 10 or more.
