Let’s face it if you’re a college student you are most likely poor. Movies, which are fairly predictable, will cost $11. So why not try something surprising and new? And free? Starting this weekend, Lipscomb’s theater department presents “Leading Ladies,” a comedy written by Ken Ludwig. “Leading Ladies” follows two poor British actors, Jack Gable and Leo Clark. When they read about an old lady looking for her two lost nieces to whom she wants to leave the bulk of her fortune, Jack begins to form a plan. The men do their best to pass themselves off as women, but problems abound when they arrive and find out the old women, Florence, is not dead. Will she find them out? Love also complicates the issue. How will these men ever express themselves to their crushes while dressed in petticoats? Ludwig has written such classics as “Moon over Buffalo,” and “Lend me a Tenor.” The show is directed by Robyn Berg, a vital part of Nashville’s theater scene. Robyn understands the necessities for a comedy and has her own vision for the show. “Leading Ladies” moves at a fast pace and never gives the audience a chance to stop laughing. With two experienced seniors, Sawyer Wallace and Caleb Pritchett, playing the leads, this show has just the right personality to wow audiences. Tickets are free for the first 50 students who contact the box office. All other student tickets are only $5. The show runs Sept. 23, 24, 30 and Oct. 1 at 7 p.m. and Sept. 25 and Oct. 2 at 2:30 p.m. Don’t miss out on this opportunity...
