As the story begins, two English Shakespearean actors, Leo and Jack, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing on the Moose Lodge circuit in rural Pennsylvania. As they travel from town to town, a bit of exciting news is discovered by the starving artists. In nearby York, Pennsylvania, Florence, a wealthy woman on her deathbed is trying to locate two long-lost English nephews, Max and Steve, whom she has never seen, so that she can bequeath them their share of her fortune.
For the talented Jack and Leo, it is the work of an instant to turn themselves into nephews Max and Steve to receive the inheritance. And that’s when the complications set in!
Paul Keller is directing the show, Megan Keller is production manager. Playing the parts of Max and Leo are Morgan Henry and Nathan Turner. Florence’s vivacious niece Meg is played by Amanda Newby. Rounding out the cast are Tiffany Miller as Florence, Amanda Dick as Audrey, Derrick Maxie as Duncan, Larry Hartley as Doc, and Samuel Fontainez as Butch.
