The Theater Arts Department at Lake Tahoe Community College is seeking men and women of various ages and types for the comedy “Leading Ladies” by Ken Ludwig.

Auditions are Sept. 23 at 7pm in the LTCC Duke Theatre. Performances will be Nov. 14-23.

In this farce, the year is 1958 and two British Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing “Scenes from Shakespeare” on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. When they hear that an old lady in York is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long-lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. Comedy ensues when they learn that the relatives aren’t nephews, but nieces.

Auditions will consist of readings from the play. Scripts are available on reserve in the LTCC library. Audition information and character breakdowns can be found online.

Opportunities for light and sound board operators, stage manager, backstage crew, and construction crew are also available.

For more information, call 530.541.4660, ext. 240.
