=========
A tribute from Ken Ludwig (Lend Me A Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, A Fox On the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp that pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors and over-the-top romantic shenanigans; it's a furiously paced, charmingly madcap adventure about love, life and man's eternal love affair with... golf. http://www.kenludwig.com/fox_on_the_fairway/a_fox_on_the_fairway.php
Specifically looking for strong actors with dynamic, hilarious personalities who are experienced with physical comedy and farce. All types are encouraged to attend.
Theatre’s casting note: Because of the short, intense rehearsal schedule, we are open and interested in seeing performers who may have done the show before. But it is NOT a requirement. Open to ALL ethnicities and types.
SEEKING:
JUSTIN HICKS:
Male (20-29) – Offbeat, sweet, anxious and a bundle of nerves with unruly hair; Justin is Bingham’s new eager-to-please assistant who volunteers his services as a closeted golf pro to help Quail Valley win the golf tournament. He is romantically involved with Louise and proposes to her early on, but becomes emotionally distraught when things become difficult between them.
LOUISE HEINDBEDDER:
Female (20-29) - A waitress at the Quail Valley Country Club. She is very attractive and a little ditzy, but studious and good-natured. She's in her own world that is innocent and wonderful to visit. Louise gets engaged to Justin, but a mishap results in her becoming very upset over their future together, making her bawl at a moment’s notice.
HENRY BINGHAM:
Male (mid 40s – mid 50s) - Director of the Quail Valley Country Club. He is witty and cynical at times and gets into a high-stakes bet on a golf tournament, determined to do what it takes to win. He is terrified and unhappy in his marriage to Muriel and becomes involved with Pamela.
PAMELA PEABODY:
Female (mid 40s – mid 50s) - A board member of the Quail Valley Country Club. She is very attractive, tan, flirty and sophisticated, but loose and a bit of a drinker. Throughout the play she aids Bingham in his plans to make sure their club wins. Sees opportunity in everything.
DICKIE BELL:
Male (late 40s – late 50s) - The director of the rival Crouching Squirrel Country Club, with whom Bingham gets into a high-stakes bet. He is a bit of an obnoxious blowhard, cocky and arrogant but tries to come off as good-natured. He is Pamela’s third ex-husband and has a thing for Bingham’s wife Muriel.
MURIEL BINGHAM:
Female (mid 40s – mid 50s) - Bingham’s wife, who runs an antique shop, which becomes part of the bet between Henry and Dickie. Generally overbearing and stern, she somehow has a soft spot for Dickie but is described as “…a strong woman. Like a Sherman Tank. No feet, she has treads on the bottom, churning forward over the landscape.”
