Gilbert & Sullivan are the undisputed masters of comic opera, and the proud parents of the modern musical. That their works are more in demand today than when they were created over a century ago is ample proof of their lasting brilliance. When the hero of The Pirates of Penzance was but a boy, his father instructed his nurse to have him apprenticed as a pilot. She thought he said "pirate", and thus the zany troubles began.

our Winter/Srping 2008 comedy,
"Leading Ladies"
by Ken Ludwig
The comedy ran from
February 29 thru March 22, 2008
at the Bowie Playhouse in Whitemarsh Park, Bowie, MD.
The Story: Two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing "Scenes From Shakespeare" on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of 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 to get the cash. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but NIECES! Romantic entaglements 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.
Thanks for a great show!
