Synopsis: Following the end of the Civil War, many former slaves, anxious to leave the South and the increasing disappointments and dangers of Reconstruction, took advantage of The Homestead Act and went West to build new lives for themselves and their families. Many of these homesteaders were black women who overcame tremendous odds to work their own land and make a place for themselves in an often harsh and forbidding environment. Set in 1898, FLYIN’ WEST is the story of some of these African-American female pioneers who settled, together, in the all-black town of Nicodemus, Kansas. “Pearl Cleage’s FLYIN’ WEST…[is] a real crowd pleaser, and its characters have humor and vitality…Cleage [is] a natural-born storyteller…” —Washington Post.

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

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.
