Whole Backstage Theatre's LEADING LADIES Closes 2/21

"Leading Ladies" will close on February 21 at Whole Backstage Theatre.

Set in Ludwig's own hometown of York, Penn., "Leading Ladies" is the story of English stage actors Leo Clark (Chris Harper) and Jack Gable (Christopher Carter), whose fortunes have declined to the point that their bread and butter is performing a mishmash of Shakespearean scenes for Elk and Moose club members up and down the Eastern seaboard.

Fortune smiles when the duo learns that a wealthy York dowager, Florence (Jennice Floyd), is searching for two long-lost Engish relations with whom she can share her estate. Complications ensue when Leo Falls in love with Meg (Melissa Lawler). Also complicating matters is Meg's suspicious fiance, the greedy parson Duncan (Dan Lueker). Kayla Harper is affectionately dim as the roller-skating waitress Audrey. And Jackson Moss is in the role of Butch, Audrey's boyfriend. Byron Waldrop, plays the role of Florence's physician, DoC. Burnett.
