Actress Needed for THE FOX ON THE FAIRWAY at Tri-County Players

TCP_logoTriCounty Players and Milford Theatre Guilde Fall collaboration, THE FOX ON THE FAIRWAY by Ken Ludwig, is in the need of an actress to plan the role of Louise a waitress who is good-natured, and a little ditzy. She’s in her own world which a very innocent and wonderful to visit.

A tribute from Ken Ludwig 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.

Show dates: November 3, 4, 5, 10 & 11, 2017

Performance Space:
The Day Heights Memorial Firemen’s Building
1313 State Route 131 Milford, OH 45150

For more information or questions please contact the director at adivared50@aol.com.
