| Leading Ladies (Theatre) | comment |
Leading Ladies is a 2004 Ken Ludwig theatrical farce.Leo Clark and Jack Gable are two English actors currently touring the Americas with a mashup of scenes from Shakespeare. After being booed off the stage at Shrewsbury, PA Moose Lodge and realizing they're almost out of money, Leo happens upon a newspaper article that seems to offer a way out: Florence Snider, of York, PA, is desperately seeking her sister's long-lost children Max and Steve, last seen in England, to share in her inheritance when she passes. Leo persuades Jack that, as trained actors from England, they could pass themselves off as these lost children and share in the inheritance with the one living niece, Meg. But after settling on the plan and learning more from the gregarious (and sesquipedalian) Audrey, they learn the missing heirs are not nephews but nieces.Setting off to the Snider residence as "Maxine" and "Stephanie," their task is complicated by a Florence who is very much not dead, Leo falling for Meg (who is engaged to the local pastor, Rev. Duncan Wooley), and an earthy doctor, Doc, and his son, Butch. Somehow, the plan expands to a showing of Twelfth Night, to be performed just before the wedding of Meg and Duncan. And Florence is still holding on... | |

| Leading Ladies (Theatre) / int_5a8f3057 | comment |
Hand Signals: Leo and Jack fake signed language initially due to the real Stephanie being deaf and dumb. Jack rightfully points out that signed languages aren't as simplified as what they're doing. | |

Love Letter Lunacy: A message meant to draw Duncan into a staged seduction by "Stephanie" gets handed to the licentious Doc instead, giving "her" an extremely persistent Abhorrent Admirer. | |

Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Audrey correctly uses most of the large words she sprinkles into her speech, but feels compelled to define them right after usage in case other people don't understand them. | |

Disposable Fiancé | |
| Leading Ladies (Theatre) / int_fced5df7 | comment |
Disposable Fiancé: While Duncan makes it to the end of the play, he does not get married to Meg. He falls under the bland sort, with a small side of Meg having grown past him and realizing that she should marry for love, not for convenience. Similarly, Audrey throws off Butch near the end of the play for Jack. | |
