The play will run Friday through Sunday on Jan. 4 through Jan. 6 and Jan. 11 through Jan. 13 at Mouse River Player’s The Arlene Theater in downtown Minot.

“Fox on the Fairway,” written by Ken Ludwig, is a wild and mad-capped tale of two rival country clubs – Quail Valley Country Club and Crouching Squirrel Golf and Racquet Club. The two clubs are squaring off for the annual interclub championship tournament and the stakes are ridiculously high. Henry Bingham, executive director of Quail Valley Country Club, puts himself in a tough spot by putting his wife’s antique shop on the line in a little wager with his rival, Dickie Bell, executive director of Crouching Squirrel Golf and Racquet Club.

Hopes run high for Quail Valley until the weather takes a turn for the worse and rains down mayhem and farcical madness. As events spiral out of control, it looks like all may be lost – including Bingham’s job. Henry’s last hope lies with a young and amazingly talented golfer named Justin, his newly-hired, love-struck assistant, but things could go awry. It’s anyone’s game in this hilarious romantic comedy that is not to be missed.

“This is my first time directing for Mouse River Players,” said director Krys Zorbaugh, “and I couldn’t have hoped for a better or funnier way to usher in the New Year or for a better or more amazing cast and crew. I feel incredibly lucky.
