LEADING LADIES Kicks Off Winter Season at the Abbeville Opera House 10/2-10/10

Leading Ladies, by Ken Ludwig,  is set to kick off the winter season at the Abbeville Opera House.  Performances run from October 2 - October 10, 2009 on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm and Saturdays at 3 pm.

Two English Shakespearean actors are down-on-their-luck - so down-on-their-luck, in fact, that they end up performing Shakespeare on the Moose Lodge circuit in Pennsylvania's Amish Country. Enter romantic interest and the need to become legitimate. This play just gets funnier as Jack and Leo hatch a plot to pass themselves off as two English women to scam an elderly woman of her fortune. Disastrous decisions lead to hilarious comedy worthy of Ken Ludwig, who also penned Lend me a Tenor. Ludwig's newest comedy is so funny, it will make sophisticated and reasonable men and women cackle till their faces hurt. Starring in the show are Juliana Morris as Meg, David Byars as Duncan, Peter Pirkel as Leo Clark, Rick Dettmann as Jack Gable, Summer Dubose as Audrey, Terry Gilchrist as Doc, Toney Gragg as Butch, Lisa Edwards as Florence and Lanny McKay as Moose Frank.

Tickets are $17 for adults and $16 for seniors.  For reservations or more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 864-366-2157.
