In a golf town that just can’t seem to get enough of the action, the Alhambra Theatre & Dining opens a
comedy new to its iconic stage, Ken Ludwig’s “The Fox on the Fairway.” Opening
week coincides with the “Players
Championship”, the PGA TOUR’s premier event just minutes down the road in
Ponte Vedra Beach (FL), adding to the area’s thirst for all things golf.
About
“A Fox on the Fairway”: Bingham, president of the Quail Valley Country
Club, is in a difficult position when he discovers the golfer he chose to represent
his club in the city championship has switched sides, having been recruited by
his counterpart and opponent. The huge
bet Bingham had foolishly wagered is now likely to be lost. He recruits the
skillful Justin and then discovers his newly-hired hand is in love with Louise,
the waitress at the club, causing his ringer much distraction. When Justin
learns that Louise has lost the engagement ring he gave her he comes unglued.
The game resumes the next day, but Justin loses the lead, and, upset, takes an
unfortunate swing, breaking his arm. To further complicate the matter for
Bingham, his wife catches him much too close to Pamela, the Club vice-president.
Comedy ensues as Bingham tries to find a replacement for Justin to win the
game, win the wager, and get his life in order.
A comic romp written by the Tony Award-winning author of “Lend Me a Tenor,” “A Fox
on the Fairway” gives golfers and non-golfers an interesting slice of country
club life. The menu features a number of country club favorites, including
Executive Chef Dejuan Roy’s fabled prime rib.

to our tour, but I’m very grateful that the doctors feel this can be taken care
of with surgery. I’m feeling strong and am in great hands with my wonderful
team. I fully expect to return for the second leg of the US tour in June followed
by our European tour in July. Thank you all for your concern and understanding
that the best gift you could give me is respecting my wish for privacy and
giving me space to heal. Can’t wait to see you all back on the road again
soon!”
James Taylor says “This summer was to be Bonnie’s and my
second summer touring together. We wanted to do it again because it was such
good fun the first time, we didn’t want it to end. We are so looking forward to
having her rejoin the tour in mid-June. Of course, there is no question as to
the priority of your health, Bonnie. You will be constantly in our hearts and
minds until we see you in June.”
