Run for Your Wife by Ray  Cooney opens on October 17 at 7:30 pm

On October 17, 2008, at 7:30 pm, the raucous  slapstick comedy, Run for Your 
Wife, by Ray Cooney, will open at the Canal  Fulton Players’ Fellowship Hall 
Theatre, 363 West Cherry Street, Canal Fulton,  Ohio.  It will be presented six 
times over the next two weeks at 7:30 pm  each night.  The cost of admission 
is $6.00 for adults and $4.00 for  seniors and children under the age of 
twelve years.
The story is about  a London taxi driver who has a problem saying “no” to 
marriage.  Married to  two woman, John Smith, the taxi driver with ordinary 
looks and an equal  personality, maintains two separate apartments with two 
separate schedules,  neighbors and police officers hounding him.  When a simple act 
of heroism  thrusts him into the limelight, the fun begins.
John Smith is played by  Mike Groom who last appeared as the Guard of the 
Inquisition in last May’s  production of Man of La Mancha.  He is married to 
Mary, played by Anita  Artzner (Aldonza in Man of La Mancha), and Barbara, played 
by newcomer Melissa  Wagner.  Mary is the serious straight laced wife while 
Barbara is the bawdy  and colorful wife.  Both are very much in love with John 
for some peculiar  reason.
John’s upstairs neighbor, Stanley Gardner, stumbles onto John’s  secret 
during a conversation.  Played by newcomer Steve Boardman, Stanley  cannot believe 
his ears or eyes as he watches and hears the stories  unfold.  Stanley always 
thought he was the one who was extraordinary in the  social department but he 
is absolutely stunned when his not so special neighbor  manages to maintain a 
rather secret and illegal life.
Making life  interesting and difficult are two police officers- one who works 
out of the  Wimbledon station, the other out of the Streatham station.  
Sergeant  Troughton is played by Jon Neumann, who was last seen as a Muleteer in 
Man of La  Mancha.  Sergeant Porterhouse is played by Ray Olivera, who was last 
seen  as Sancho Panza in Man of La Mancha.  
Barbara’s and John’s  upstairs neighbor, Bobby Franklyn, is a frustrated 
interior designer who somehow  cannot make his collaborator, Cyril, understand 
that spilt paint can seep into  the apartment below.  Played by Jack Yoak (Tyler 
Moss of Crossing  Delancey), Bobby cannot get over the rather unbelievable 
shenanigans that John  does to avoid detection.
Drew Hutchinson rounds the cast out portraying  the news photographer who 
does not know what type of story he failed to  photograph.
The play is a Samuel French production and is directed by David Van Gaasbeek  
who can be reached at 330-494-1022 or 330-854-4387 for further  information.
