Augusta's Barn Theatre Presents THE FOX ON THE FAIRWAY, 6/5-17

On June 5 the Barn Theatre opens the first main stage show of the season with a hilarious new comedy, FOX ON THE FAIRWAY written by Ken Ludwig, author of the wildly successful comedy LEND ME A TENOR.

The tension is palpable on the morning of the highly anticipated annual golf tournament at the picturesque Quail Valley Country Club and Bingham (played by Roy Brown), the club’s anxious club president, will stop at nothing to break their losing streak this year. Bingham’s arch nemesis, the flamboyant, boisterous Dickie (played by Eric Parker), prods him into an outrageous wager, putting a considerable fortune and Bingham’s wife’s beloved antique shop on the line.

To the charming but befuddled young Justin (played by Patrick Hunter), it seems that all of his dreams are coming true. He has just landed his dream job, and Louise, the beautiful club waitress, has accepted his marriage proposal! When Dickie gleefully announces that Quail Valley’s star player has switched sides and will play for the Crouching Squirrels, the anxiety-ridden Bingham convinces Justin play for the team!

Justin’s surprise golf game seems unstoppable, but will he be able to keep it going to break the losing streak and save the day? Or will Quail Valley once again be crushed by the Crouching Squirrels? Will Bingham lose his job, his fortune, his wife and her antique shop all in one day? Or will an unlikely hero step up to save the day? To add to the madcap hysterics, secret admirers reveal their passions, ancient artifacts are found and jewels go missing, all while a nail-biting tournament of golf unfolds on the greens.
