November 10 - 13, 2011
Directed by Scotty Kennedy
Gathering experience before tackling
the "big time" in New York, director Larry Rencher has
decided to undertake MACBETH, drawing on his faith-ful
(and generally hammy) cadre of local theatre buffs. The
role of Lady Macbeth is assigned to Dolly Dibble (whose
husband owns the theatre) with the other parts being
parceled out with similar logic. As rehearsals begin, so
do the hilarious complications and misunderstandings
until, harried and out of patience, the director storms
off in a huff—leaving mat-ters in the hands of the
meddlesome newcomer whose "suggestions" have been a thorn
in his side. As they will, things then go from bad to
worse, until the director is wooed into returning and
(despite the fact that Dolly's tipsy husband gets his head
stuck in the witches' cauldron) somehow everything gets
pulled together in time for the fateful moment of opening
night.

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 under-neath 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. |

NO TIME FOR SERGEANTS'
central figure is a husky and good-natured hillbilly who
finally gets into the Air Force despite his father's
propensity for tearing up his draft papers. Then begins
the desperate efforts of the Air Force to classify this
highly unclassifiable mountain boy. Our hero is soon sent
off on what becomes a comic voyage, in an airplane manned
by some weary flying officers, most suffering from
hangovers. Even though the plane does get lost and heads
towards an atomic explosion in Yucca Flats, the hilarity
of the play's endearing hero leaves few moments to
con-template the ensuing disaster.
