Auditions for The Fox on the Fairway by Prince George’s Little Theatre, Feb 3 & 4

Produced by Prince George’s Little Theatre.

Performances will be at the Bowie Playhouse.

Auditions and rehearsals are held at the New Carrollton Municipal Center, 6016 Princess Garden Parkway, New Carrollton, MD 20784.

Audition dates: February 3 & 4 at 7pm. Call-backs, if necessary, will be February 6.

Directed by John (Jack) Degnan.

Performances will be: May 2-18, 2014.

Description: “The Fox on the Fairway”, a farce by Ken Ludwig, will be PGLT’s third production of the 2013-14 season. It will be directed by John (“Jack”) Degnan and coproduced by Keith Brown and Estelle Miller. A tribute from Ken Ludwig (Lend Me A Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, “The 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.

Auditions for “The Fox on the Fairway” will be held Monday, February 3, and Tuesday, February 4, beginning at 7:00 pm. Callbacks, if necessary, will be held on Thursday, February 6. Auditions and rehearsals are held at the New Carrollton Municipal Center, 6016 Princess Garden Parkway, New Carrollton, MD 20784 (directions). The production will run for nine performances from Friday, May 2 through Sunday, May 18, 2014 at the Bowie Playhouse. The director, John Degnan, is looking for appropriately aged actors for the following roles. Henry, Dickie, Pamela, and Muriel are middle-aged contemporaries (mid-40s to early 60s) while Justin and Louise are in their 20s.

Funny Money by 2nd Star Productions at the Bowie Playhouse, Jan 31 – Feb 16

Funny Money by 2nd Star Productions at the Bowie Playhouse, Jan 31 – Feb 16

Comedy by Ray Cooney
Directed by Fred Nelson

2nd Star Productions at the Bowie Playhouse

January 31 – February 16, 2014

Henry, a mild mannered British CPA, accidentally picks up a briefcase full of someone else’s ill-gotten gains. He decides to keep it and fly to Barcelona to start a new life, but his wife has other plans, and before they can leave, there’s an unexpected knock at the door. The circumstances that prevent Henry from working his way out of this problem are the kinds that only a master of farce like Britain’s Ray Cooney (author of Run for Your Wife and It Runs in the Family) could create. You’ll love this hilarious comedy of errors.
