Whittier Community Theatre Presents

Peter Scolari and Reggie Gowland in The Fox on the Fairway
as presented at the George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, New Jersey

 THE FOX ON THE FAIRWAY
You are cordially invited to the Tap Room of the Quail Valley Country Club for the festivities and insanity surrounding the annual golf grudge match between Quail Valley and Crouching Squirrel [SQUIRREL!], two rival Country Clubs.  There is no shortage of dirty tricks and elaborate schemes in this charming madcap adventure about love, life and man's eternal love affair with golf.
So reads the plot synopsis of The Fox on the Fairway, Whittier Community Theatre's current production.  (The squirrel comment was mine.  Sorry.  Couldn't resist!)

This play sounds like fun!

The Fox on the Fairway was written by Ken Ludwig, the same wonderful author who gave us the delightfully funny plays Lend Me A Tenor and Moon Over Buffalo.  

The current WCT production stars some Community Theatre favorites:

My good friend Roxie Lee portrays Pamela Peabody,
Bingham's sex-starved Vice President (Oh, my!)

Greg Stokes as Dickie, Bingham's nemesis

Justin Murphy as Justin Hicks,
 the newly hired hand at the Country Club - and expert golfer?

Lewis Crouse  plays Henry Bingham,
President of the Quail Valley Country Club

Mackenzie Rae Campbell as Louise Heindbedder,
the waitress at the clubhouse 

Toni Beckman plays Muriel Bingham,
Henry's long-suffering wife
This wacky farce marks the last show of the 2012-2013 Season.  The comedy was first produced in 2010, and has been touted as Ken Ludwig's "tribute to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s."

Reviews have called it "Hilarious Hilarious Hilarious".

Sounds like a good time to me.

This show premiered last weekend to lots of audience laughter.  There are still two weekends left!  All shows are at 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday (June 7th, 8th, 14th and 15th) with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. this coming Sunday, the 9th.

Come support the Theatre Arts in our community.  There is nothing like an evening of live theatre.  Tickets are available at the door, or through Goldstar.  Call the theatre at (562) 696-0600 to reserve your tickets today.

See ya there!
