AUDITION NOTICE
 The Fox on the Fairway
written by Ken Ludwig 
directed by Ron Newell

The Fox On the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp that 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. A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life, and man’s eternal love affair with...golf. 

This is a very physical show—so those auditioning should be able to withstand chase scenes and rapid movement. It would be very easy to make these characters into “types,” and have them be cartoonish—but this MUST NOT HAPPEN. Each of these characters, though stereotypical in many ways, must be absolutely real. The show has the capacity to be very, very funny.

CHARACTERS: 3 men and 3 women
Justin – 20’s is a socially awkward young man who also happens to be low handicap golfer. In real life, his nervousness and uncertainties often overtake his actions.
 
Louise – 20’s is a perfect match for Justin in that she, too, possesses some naive, awkward social graces. She is sexy and sweet and very proud of her accomplishments, but is also given to extreme reactions to set backs. She cries a lot.

Bingham – 40’s and up is the owner of the Quail Valley Country Club. He has been frustrated by years of a mismatched marriage and is intimidated by his wife while mooning over his former love interest, Pamela. 

Pamela – 40’s and up is the somewhat cynical divorcee who has left Dickie (Director of the Crouching Squirrel) behind. She is the helper, the fixer upper of things gone bad, the object of Bingham’s devotion.
 
Dickie – 40’s and up is the insufferable bore who is the Director of the Crouching Squirrel. He dresses loudly and tastelessly meaning that his appearance matches his personality.

Muriel – 40’s and up is the overbearing wife of Bingham. When she is in the room she sucks all of the oxygen out of the space.
