Overhearing that an old lady in York, PA is to leave her fortune to her long-lost nieces, they decide to use their acting skills to get the cash by pretending to be someone and something they aren’t. Houston Press hails “Leading Ladies” as “…so funny, it will make sophisticated and reasonable men and women of the 21st century cackle ’till their faces hurt.”
