In this hilarious comedy by the author of Lend Me A Tenor and Moon Over Buffalo, two English 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, PA 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. The trouble is, when they get to York, 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 old lady's vivacious niece, Meg, who's engaged to the local minister. Meg knows that there's a wide world out there, but it's not until she meets "Maxine and Stephanie" that she finally gets a taste of it.

​Friends of Forge

Join us as a Patron for our 57th Season (2018-2019)
We have made many exciting and long-standing improvements to our facility this past year.  Most notably we replaced our roof and portico, the air-conditioning system, improved the heating, and upgraded the wiring throughout the building.  Without your loyal support, none of that would have been possible.  We still need your help to defray those costs and continue to improve Forge’s infrastructure.
​
This season, we are especially proud of the quality and variety of play selections being offered this year including two musicals: All Shook Up  and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.  To complete this season is the riveting murder mystery Murder on the Nile and two very funny comedies Play On and Ken Ludwig's Leading Ladies.

We look forward to seeing you, hearing from you, and partnering with you in our live, affordable, family theatre in the Phoenixville area. We are hoping for your generous support as a patron for the upcoming 2018-2019 season.  To that end, please follow this link or see the box below.
