"The Fox on the Fairway" opens on DPRCA stage March 31

Let's get this par-tee started! It might not be quite golfing weather, but you'll wish you were out on the greens this spring. Beginning next Friday DPRCA presents "The Fox on the Fairway," a charmingly madcap adventure about love, life and man's eternal love affair with ... golf.

This hilarious romantic comedy pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy patrons of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors and over-the-top shenanigans, it's a furiously paced farce that recalls the Marx Brothers classics of the 1930s and '40s.

All of the action happens smack dab in the middle of an interclub golf tournament hosted at Quail Valley Country Club.

The all-star cast of local talent features DPRCA Artistic Director, Elliott Schwab, as Henry Bingham, director of the tournament venue. Assistant Managing Director Erin Greiner is Muriel Bingham, Henry's estranged wife.

Jon Johnson plays Richard "Dickie" Bell, the pompous director of rival club, Crouching Squirrel Golf and Racquet Club. Driving Dickie crazy is ex-wife Pamela Peabody, played by Tessa Hartl.

Nick Hovey and Hallie Brown star as wild-eyed young lovers, Justin Hicks and Louise Heindbedder.

Rated PG-13 for mild language and suggestive humor, "The Fox on the Fairway" is the perfect date night, boys' night or girls' night adventure. Get a sitter and beat the winter blues with a night on the town. Eat, drink and laugh your face off!
