For those who play golf, or just like watching golf on TV, Winfield Community Theater’s next production “The Fox on the Fairway” is sure to provide an evening that is “above par” (which is good in this case!).
Country Club president Henry Bingham (David Schmeidler) is so sure he will beat a rival club in a tournament that he makes a bet with that club’s head Dickie Bell (Arty Hicks). He risks a huge amount of money and his wife Muriel’s (Paula Steinbacher) antique store. But Dickie is on to Bingham’s stacked deck. Bingham has to put his hopes in with Justin (Alex Payne), a young employee who has a great talent with his clubs as long as his state of mind is calm and not a shattered mess. And as with an expensive vase that gets tossed about, it’s not about will it shatter, it’s about when and how. Just as Justin is in winning mode, fiancé Louise (Caitlyn Godfrey) has a crisis, and that would be enough to make things crash and burn, but then there is the additional stress of the flirting going on between Muriel and Dickie, and Bingham and club member Pamela (Shelley Pinnegar). And throughout, Bingham teaches Justin about the “religion of golf.” This is a show with physical and farcical comedy where anything can happen, and seemingly does!
