Gates Mills, OH 44040 AUDITION SLOT SIGN UP: Please sign-up for an audition slot at the link below: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0548ADAF2BA6F94-51505497-auditions#/ SYNOPSIS: A tribute from Ken Ludwig to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, A 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. CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS: Justin – (Male, 20s-30s) 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 – (Female, 20s-30s) 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 – (Male, 30s-50s) 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 – (Female, 30s-50s) 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 – (Male, 30s-50s) The insufferable bore who is the Director of the Crouching Squirrel. He dresses loudly and tastelessly meaning that his appearance matches his personality. Muriel – (Female, 30s-50s) The overbearing wife of Bingham. When she is in the room she sucks all of the oxygen out of the space. *All roles in this production are on a volunteer basic, there is currently no compensation available for the actors involved in this production* Any age, race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, body type, abilities, or other identities are encouraged to audition and will be considered equally in character casting, unless directly specified by the playwright as integral to their story. Age/age ranges, genders, and descriptions, if listed, are recommendations by the script but are flexible to interpretation. No roles for this production have been precast unless otherwise stated in marketing announcements regarding the auditions. OTHER DETAILS: If you have any questions or would like to audition for this production, but are unable to attend regular auditions, please contact the director at cmb164(a)1870.uakron.edu<mailto:cmb164@1870.uakron.edu>.

Will they take the time out of their day to…you know…check on the children? francisca da silveira’s not-for-profit (or the equity, diversity and inclusion play) takes a satirical look inside a fictitious non-profit going through it.
