ACTORS continues its 64th season with “Leading Ladies,” a hilarious comedy written by Ken Ludwig. One of ACTORS’ favorite playwrights, Ken Ludwig also penned “Lend Me a Tenor” and “Moon Over Buffalo,” comedies you might recognize as they were performed on ACTORS stage in earlier seasons. Director Susan Norris describes “Leading Ladies” as a mad-cap comedy, full of hijinks and mistaken identities. ACTORS, see page 4
