Spring 2020 Production Postponed due to COVID-19
Leading Ladies, by Ken Ludwig
Set in the 1950s, Leading Ladies focuses on two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, who find their careers in a rut.
They are currently performing "Scenes from Shakespeare" 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,
however the actors resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash.
Hilarity ensues when it turns out the relatives are actually nieces and not nephews.
Things get even more complicated when Leo falls madly in love with the old lady's vivacious niece, Meg, who's engaged to the local minister.

Our Mission
The mission of the Dover Foundation is to foster community spirit,
neighborliness, cooperation, friendships and service within the town of Dover.
The Dover Foundation is an independent, non-profit, 501-C3, all volunteer
organization that has served the Dover community since 1947.
The Foundation is most known for outstanding theatrical performances held in
Dover, featuring Dover and surrounding community residents.
In June of each year, scholarship awards are granted to Dover students, and
community grants are made to the Dover Community.
More than 500 Dover high school seniors have received over $600,000 in
scholarship grants.
Many cross generational projects have also benefitted from its generous support,
including the Channing Pond skating rink, and tennis and summer playground
programs (1950s-1960s); Dover Choral Society, Dover Dig, and Boy Scout cabin
rebuilding (1970s); new stage curtains for the Dover Town House (1981);
auditorium lighting for the high school (1993); Dover Music Festival, sound
systems at the high school auditorium/theater, and Dover athletic programs
(2000-2010s).
We thank the Dover community for their support and look forward to many more years of great theater and community service.
