Fox on the Fairway

 

 APRIL – MAY 2013

A tribute from Ken Ludwig (Lend Me A Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, The Fox On the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp which 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 comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers' classics. A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life, and man's eternal love affair with… golf.

by Ray Cooney and John Chapman

FEBRUARY 2013

A comedy of chaos, misunderstandings, and mistaken identities becomes the setting for a tangled web of secret rendezvous in this British bedroom farce. 

The play is set in a very elegant top floor London flat, belonging to Philip and Joanna Markham who are 'supposed' to be going out for the evening. 

Philip is a straight-laced publisher of children's books, and he shares an office with his partner, Henry Lodge, on the ground floor. Philip has reluctantly agreed to let Henry borrow his apartment for the evening to 'entertain' his latest girlfriend. At the same time Joanna Markham has been persuaded by Linda Lodge to let her borrow the apartment so she too can get in on the cheating game and 'entertain' a new lover. What nobody knows is that the Interior Designer, who has been decorating the flat for the past three months, has the same plans with the European maid! 

Not surprisingly, chaos and confusion ensues as they all unknowingly converge at the same time! To further fuel the turmoil, the formidable and very conservative, Olive Harriet Smythe arrives clutching a lucrative book deal. To avoid losing this deal, Henry has to pretend to be Phillip, Linda has to pretend to be the maid, and Philip pretends to be his own (adulterous) butler.

Written by: Jaston Williams, Joe Sears, and Ed Howard
Presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc

Featuring: Larry Jacobs and Kurt Miller

Greater Tuna is the hilarious comedy about Texas third smallest town, where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. The eclectic band of citizens that make up this town are portrayed by only two performers, making this satire on life in rural America even more delightful as they depict all of the inhabitants of Tuna -- men, women, children and animals.

From radio station OKKK, Thurston Wheelis and Arlis Struvie report on the goings on in Tuna, Texas, a town with a used gun saleswoman, a judge found dead wearing a woman's swim suit, a UFO in the shape of a flying chalupa, the smut snatchers group, a wannabe cheerleader, a pack of dogs, and a mess of other homegrown specials.
