Synopsis:
The annual inter-club golf tournament is approaching and the members of the Quail Valley and Crouching Squirrel Country Clubs will do anything, and everything, to win. An homage to the classic farce, this play is full of mistaken identities, romantic shenanigans, and crazy characters. And in the end, no matter who wins the tournament, everyone will enjoy this fast-paced comedy and its endearing cast.
Roles Available:
HENRY BINGHAM (mid 40s): Director of the Quail Valley Country Club. He is witty and cynical at times. He gets into a high-stakes bet on a golf tournament and is determined to do what it takes to win.
PAMELA PEABODY (late 30s early 40s): A member of the Quail Valley Country Club. She is very attractive and sophisticated, but a bit loose and a bit of a drinker. Throughout the play she aids Bingham in his plans to make sure their club wins.
JUSTIN HICKS (mid 20s): Bingham’s new eager-to-please assistant who volunteers his services as a golfer to help Quail Valley win the golf tournament. An offbeat, sweet anxious bundle of nerves, He is romantically involved with Louise and proposes to her early on, but becomes emotionally distraught when things become difficult between them.
LOUISE HEINDBEDDER (early to mid 20s): A waitress at the Quail Valley Country Club. She is very attractive, and a bit flighty, but studious. She gets engaged to Justin early on, but a mishap results in her becoming very upset over their future together, making her bawl at a moment’s notice.
DICKIE BELL (mid 40s): The director of the rival Crouching Squirrel Country Club, with whom Bingham gets into a high-stakes bet. He is a bit obnoxious, including his fashion sense, but tries to come off as good-natured.
MURIEL BINGHAM (40s): 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.
