Casting call: 'The Fox on the Fairway'



Somerset Valley Players will hold auditions for "The Fox on the Fairway" at 7:30 p.m. April 22 and April 24. Auditionees will need to read from the script.

A crazy golf clubhouse tees up frenetic farce in this fast-paced comedy. A raucous rivalry between two screwball country clubs drives the members into love on the links, sauciness in the sand traps, and frolic on the fairway while scheming and conniving to win top prize.

Henry Bingham (40's)Director of the Quail Valley Country Club. He is witty and cynical at times. Henry gets into a high-stakes bet on a golf tournament and is determined to do what it takes to win. He is also unhappy in his marriage and becomes involved with Pamela.
Pamela Peabody (40's)A member of the Quail Valley Country Club. She is very attractive and sophisticated, but a bit loose and a bit of a drinker. Throughout the play she aids Henry in his plans to make sure their club wins.
Justin Hicks (20's)Bingham's new eager-to-please assistant who volunteers his services as a golfer to help Quail Valley win the golf tournament. He is romantically involved with Louise and proposes to her early on, but becomes emotionally distraught when things become difficult between them.
Louise Heindbedder (20's)A waitress at the Quail Valley Country Club. She is very attractive, and a bit flighty, but studious. A mishap results in her becoming very upset over her and Justin's future together, making her bawl at a moment's notice.
Dickie Bell (40's)The director of the rival Crouching Squirrel Country Club, with whom Bingham gets into a high-stakes bet. He is a bit obnoxious, including in his fashion sense, but tries to come off as good-natured. He is Pamela's ex-husband and likes Bingham's wife Muriel.
Muriel Bingham (40's)Henry's wife, who runs an antique shop, which becomes part of the bet between Henry and Dickie. Generally overbearing and stern, she somehow has a soft spot for Dickie.



The show will run at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. Sundays from June 7 to June 23.
