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 Ripley, an actor with a long line of acting and 
directing  credits.  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
