EKU Theatre's last mainstage show of the season! A tribute from Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor and Moon Over Buffalo) to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, The Fox on the Fairway is filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top romantic shenanigans. It's a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers' classics and a charmingly madcap adventure about love, life and man's enternal love affair with... golf. Performances
