Leading Ladies

Event date: Friday, 28 November 2025 | 07:30 PM to 10:45 PM

Promotional graphic for Octagon Theatre’s production of Leading Ladies by Ken Ludwig. The design features two illustrated figures in colorful formal attire—one in a long red dress with yellow heels and the other in a teal jacket, orange skirt, and pink heels—standing on either side of bold white and pink text. The text reads: “OT Octagon Theatre Leading Ladies Ken Ludwig.” Additional details at the bottom include: “Directed by: Rana-Antoinette Gagnon & Kirsten Parker-Van Eck.” Logos for Creative Northland, Newberry’s, and Whangarei District Council appear along the bottom.

In this hilarious comedy, two Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing "Scenes from Shakespeare" on the Moose Lodge circuit.

When they hear that an old lady is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long-lost nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash.

The trouble is, when they get there, they find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces! Romantic entanglements abound, especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoat in love with the niece, Meg, who is engaged to the local minister.

Entry options include show only, dinner and show, or lunch and matinee show!
