It’s 1932, and the famous Hollywood writer Ben Hecht has just finished his screenplay for a movie produced by Howard Hughes called SCARFACE, loosely based on the real life story of Al Capone. Hecht’s agent shows up at his Hollywood apartment to get the script, but it’s missing! Capone has sent a couple of his associates to have a little “talk” about the script with Ben. The action and dialog flies faster than bullets as Hecht tries to get the script back while dodging the gangsters, his agent, a blond starlet, a woman form the movie censor board, a drunk neighbor, and the house detective.

A Shot in the Dark by Prince George’s Little Theatre at the Bowie Playhouse, Jan 9-25

A Shot in the Dark by Prince George’s Little Theatre at the Bowie Playhouse, Jan 9-25, 2015

A Shot in the Dark, by Marcel Achard
Directed by Keith Brown

Prince George’s Little Theatre at the Bowie Playhouse

Performances are three weekends, January 9 – January 25, 2015

Description: A good hearted, guileless child of nature is hauled before the magistrate on a charge of murder, having been found unconscious, nude, and clutching a gun, with her lover dead beside her. What is most shocking to the magistrate is the complete frankness with which she describes her life as a parlor maid and her affairs with both the dead chauffeur and her aristocratic employer. She is so ingenious that the magistrate, at the risk of his juridical neck, decides that she could not have committed the murder. “A bubbling, saucy comedy… A light, tasty soufflé” ~ N.Y. Times.

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.
