In step with
the new slogan for Carpenter Square Theatre's 27th Season, "Dramatically
Different," the theatre is pleased to announce a dramatically different location
for the opening show.
The comedy LEADING LADIES will be staged September 3-25 at the Bricktown Hotel
and Convention Center, which is located at 2001 E. Reno at the intersection of
Reno and Martin Luther King. The venue has easy highway access. Theatergoers may
exit I-40 at Eastern/M.L. King and proceed north on M.L. King.
The Bricktown
Hotel and Convention Center is the first business on the east side of the
street. LEADING LADIES will be staged in a section of the hotel's Grand
Ballroom. Full bar services will be available for patrons to enjoy prior to the
performance and at intermission.
The new
location for Carpenter Square's production is a result of the massive flooding
of Stage Center on June 14 and the subsequent closing of the facility.
 September 3 - 25, 2010
Leading Ladies
a
comedy by Ken Ludwig
LEADING LADIES
by Ken Ludwig, is a fast-paced comedy in which two destitute actors hatch a
scheme to snag a dying old woman's fortune by impersonating her two long-lost
nieces from England. With a nod to the classic film "Some Like it Hot," the two
men dive into their costume trunk and don women's garb to carry out their
scheme, but when they fall for two local lasses and try to woo them, rapid-fire
costume changes and near misses abound.
The
production is supported in part by the Oklahoma Arts Council, National Endowment
for the Arts and the Allied Arts Foundation. The Bricktown Hotel & Convention
Center serves as a co-producer for the event.
