Diamond Head Theatre Presents
"Leading Ladies"
February 1 -- 17, 2013



Directing and playing the lead roles of the two English Shakespearean actors, "Jack" and "Leo", are theatre veterans, Rob Duval and Paul Mitri. Tricia Marciel plays the optimistic and vivacious "Meg" and Leiney Rigg is the sweet, but sometimes ditzy "Audrey."

The cast also features Meg's fiance, "Duncan" (Matthew Kelty), "Doc Myers" (Walter Eccles), "Butch" (Seth Lilley) and the irritable, but loving "Florence" (Ann Brandman).

Leading Ladies is a hilarious comedy about two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, who find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing 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 relatives, and get the cash. The trouble is when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces. A Some Like It Hot farce ensues.


Leading Ladies will be playing from February 1 -- 17, 2013. Performances are at 8 p.m. Thursday -- Saturday, 4 p.m. Sunday, and Saturday matinees at 3 p.m. on February 9 and 16.

Heralded as the "Broadway of the Pacific," Diamond Head Theatre has delivered the best live community theatrical entertainment since 1915. The theatre showcases Hawaii's finest local talent, frequently brings in guest artists, and supports performance arts education through a variety of community programs, including the acclaimed Shooting Stars program.

PLOT SYNOPSIS
Set in 1950's Pennsylvania, this hilarious comedy follows two struggling Shakespearean actors, Leo Clark and Jack Gable. Down on their luck, the duo end up performing "Scenes from Shakespeare" on the Moose Lodge Circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. They are invariably booed at every stop.

When Leo and Jack hear that Florence, an old lady in York, PA, is about to leave her fortune to her two long-lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as the missing relatives. They soon discover the relatives are in fact, nieces, but desperate for the money, they gamely (and foolishly) arrive in York posing as "Stephanie" and "Maxine".

Romantic entanglements abound when Leo falls head-over-petticoat in love with Florence's vivacious niece Meg!

A "Some Like It Hot" crowd pleaser, The Houston Press says: "Leading Ladies is so funny, it will make sophisticated and reasonable men and women cackle..."
