[Capdist-auditions] Coach House Players Auditions for Fox on the Fairway

[Rachel Davis]

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.

Directed by Tom Tierney

Character descriptions are as follows. The ages listed are the stated ages
of the characters, not necessarily the required age of the actors.

HENRY BINGHAM (mid 40s): Director of the Quail Valley Country Club. He is
witty and cynical at times, much like Basil Fawlty from the british sitcom.
He 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 to Muriel and
becomes involved with Pamela.

PAMELA PEABODY (39): 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 production she aids Bingham in his plans to make sure their
club wins.

JUSTIN HICKS (25): 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 (23): A waitress at the Quail Valley Country Club. She
is very attractive, and a bit flighty, but studious. She gets engaged to
Justin early on, but a mishap results in her becoming very upset over their
future together, making her bawl at a moment’s notice.

DICKIE BELL (mid 40s): The director of the rival Crouching Squirrel Country
Club, with whom Bingham gets into a high-stakes wager. He is a bit
obnoxious, including his fashion sense, but tries to come off as
good-natured. He is Pamela’s ex and has a thing for Bingham’s wife Muriel.

MURIEL BINGHAM (40s): Bingham’s wife, who runs an antique shop, which
becomes part of the wager between Henry and Dickie. Generally overbearing
and stern, she somehow has a soft spot for Dickie.
