Reston Community Players to Debut 'The Fox On The Fairway' Friday

The award-winning Reston Community Players are proud to bring Ken Ludwig’s The Fox on the Fairway back to the DC Metro area beginning Friday, through May 9.

The stuffy atmosphere of a private golf club is the perfect setting for Ludwig’s madcap adventure featuring mistaken identities, slamming doors, and hysterical hi-jinx. The Washington Examiner stated: “Ken Ludwig has a wicked sense of comedic anarchy, giving his characters such zany idiosyncrasies that they soar to dizzying heights!”

Performances are Friday, April 24 and Saturday, April 25 and Friday, May 1, Saturday, May 2, Friday, May 8, and Saturday, May 9 at 8 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, May 3. The performance on May 1 will be a sign language-interpreted performance.

Tickets can be purchased through www.restonplayers.org or by calling the CenterStage box office at 703-476-4500 x 3. All Reston Players mainstage productions are performed at CenterStage at the Reston Community Center, 2310 Colts Neck Road, Reston, Va. CenterStage is handicap accessible and offers listening devices for the hearing impaired.

Zell Murphy, who plays Henry Bingham, the uptight director of Quail Valley Country Club, said: “Ken Ludwig is like the modern day Neil Simon. His writing is modern, crisp, quick-witted, hilarious, and, believe it or not, relatable to a certain extent. We have all experienced miscommunications, mistaken identities, missed opportunities, and extremely embarrassing situations. You don’t have to play golf to appreciate The Fox on The Fairway.”
