PM&L Theater of Antioch will present “Leading Ladies” as the show for its 51st season. This comedy by Ken Ludwig, the author of “Lend Me a Tenor” and “Moon Over Buffalo,” is set in 1958 Pennsylvania, and centers on English Shakespearean actors Jack and Leo, whose failing careers lead them to impersonate two long-lost nephews of a dying old woman so that they can inherit her multi-million-dollar fortune. To their surprise, however, they discover later that her heirs are, in fact, nieces, and so they must continue their charade in drag.

Show dates are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays April 13, 14, 20, 21, 27 and 28 and 2:30 p.m. Sundays, April 15, 22 and 29. Tickets are $13 for adults and $11 for seniors 60 and older and students.

The box office will be open 6-8 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays, and 1½ hours before curtain on performance dates. To reserve tickets, call or visit the box office, at (847) 395-3055.
