<div dir="ltr"><div>Director Pat Price will be holding auditions for Ken Ludwig's "The Fox On The Fairway" on Wednesday, September 11 and Thursday, September 12 at 7 p.m. at Workshop Players Theater, 44820 Middle Ridge Rd. in Amherst.<br>
<br>This show is a door slamming farce written specifically to honor
the great English farce tradition that began in the 1800’s, according to
Ken Ludwig. Good timing is essential. It’s 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.</div>
<p></p>
<div>Come prepared with a 1-2 minute comedic monologue—preferably memorized. Contact Pat Price at 440-670-6620 or <a href="mailto:joeandpatprice@centurytel.net">joeandpatprice@centurytel.net</a> for further information.</div>

<div><strong>Justin–20’s</strong> is a socially awkward young man who
also happens to be low handicap golfer. He’s practically a virtuoso on
the links, but not so in real life where his nervousness and
uncertainties often overtake his actions. He is madly in love with
Louise and suffers pendulum like emotions over his interactions with
her.</div>
<p> <strong>Louise–20s </strong>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.</p>

<div><strong>Bingham–40s</strong> and up is the owner of the Quail
Valley Country Club which is the site of the play during the annual
championship tournament with rival the Crouching Squirrel Golf Club. He
has been frustrated by years of losing this match which shows through
his antics to win, win, win. He has also been frustrated by years of a
mismatched marriage and is intimidated by his wife while mooning over
his former love interest, Pamela. His is a difficult, embarrassing
journey through the events of this play!</div>
<p> <strong>Pamela–40s</strong> <strong>and up</strong> 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, the commentator on the play’s
actions. She is sexy, confident and often snide.</p>
<p> <strong>Dickie–40s and up</strong> is the insufferable bore who is
the Director of the Crouching Squirrel. Winning is his game and gloating
is his pay off. He dresses loudly and tastelessly meaning that his
appearance matches his personality.</p>
<p><strong>Muriel–40s</strong> and up is the overbearing wife of
Bingham. When she is in the room she sucks all of the oxygen out of the
space. She is a powerful figure, not to be reckoned with or crosses.
Yet, the play does ultimately reveal a somewhat softer side</p><div><br>-- <br><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">Workshop Players</span><br style="font-family:georgia,serif"><font style="font-family:georgia,serif">44820 Middle Ridge Road, Amherst, OH 44001
