Fox on the Fairway (STL)

5/11/2013

 
Fox on the Fairway at Starlight Dinner Theatre is a madcap, slapstick cartoon of a show in the Ken Ludwig farcical tradition - highlighted at curtain call with an abbreviated high-speed rerun of the entire show in pantomime shorthand. Director Linda Granger keeps these actors in high gear juggling their caricature characters and ridiculous misunderstandings as they fight and flirt their way through a high-stakes bet on a golf tournament. Jeff Kennedy and Rachel Mender play Justin and Louise, young lovers charming enough that we forgive their stupidity. Chris Klaver as golf club manager spends the entire show in various states of hysteria, enraged by the adorably annoying Ron McNeil representing the rival club. These two are alternately seduced/intimidated/manhandled by the slinky Charlotte Ruppert as Pamela and the formidable Diana Lett as Muriel. It's all for fun.

The "tap room" of the Quail Valley Golf Club set is well designed by Paul Sisson. MANY sound effects are managed by John Herrbach. Fun and flashy costumes (including some wonderfully horrible golf sweaters for Ron) are provided by Gwendolyn Conarton and Jamie Wakley. The show runs smoothly despite the absence of Diane Erley, who had been a pillar of backstage help for all Starlight Shows. She was an avid golfer, and had looked forward to working on this show but died suddenly the first week in April. Her golf clubs were placed on the apron of the stage as a tribute.

The pork loin dinner was tasty, with all the buffet trimmings; the atmosphere is candle-lit and about as elegant as a school cafetorium can get.Waverly East   3131 W.
