Filled with mistaken identities and over-the-top romances, Actors' Playhouse presents the hilarious comedy The Fox on the Fairway from May 8 - June 2, 2013 at the Miracle Theatre. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast below!

The Fox on the Fairway is a charming screwball adventure about love, life, and man's eternal love affair with ... golf. Written by Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo, Crazy For You), the author hits a hole-in-one with his tribute to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s. Two rival country clubs, Quail Valley and Crouching Squirrel, prepare for their annual grudge match. A massive private wager is made between the two CEOs just before the best player switches teams. The Fox on the Fairway is a "tour-de-course" of rapid-fire chip shots and frenzied miscommunications.

Director David Arisco will lead the cast through the water hazards and sand traps of The Fox on the Fairway.

Ken Clement plays Henry Bingham, the agitated CEO of Quail Valley. An Actors' Playhouse fan favorite, Ken is a recipient of the Carbonell Award, Silver Palm Award and the Miami New Times 'Best of...' Award. Actors' Playhouse credits include Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol, 1776, House and Garden, Johnny Guitar, Sherlock's Last Case, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Big Bang, Another Night Before Christmas, Floyd Collins, Oliver!, Urinetown, and most recently Becky's New Car. TV and film credits include I Love You Phillip Morris, Sex Drive, "Burn Notice", "The Glades", "Magic City" and Pain and Gain.

Dreamcoat (Actors' Playhouse), Deathtrap, Lend me a Tenor (Stage Door), Rock Odyssey (Arsht Center), The Whole Caboodle (Parade Productions), Twentieth Century Way (Carbonell Nomination: Best Ensemble), Body Awareness (Island City Stage), and Song of the Living Dead (Carbonell Nomination: Best Supporting Actor/Silver Palm Award: Outstanding New Talent).

Betsy Graver makes her Actors' Playhouse debut as Louise, Justin's bubble-headed girlfriend who is studying Greek.

Todd Allen Durkin plays the rival club president, Dickie, who places the shifty bet for Crouching Squirrel. Durkin can be seen as Doug Feehan in "Magic City" seasons 1 and 2 on STARZ.

Tensions fly when Henry Bingham's wife, learns the massive bet not only involves cash, but her beloved antique shop. Muriel Bingham is played by Actors' Playhouse veteran Margot Moreland who just returned from the California tour of Menopause the Musical, and is excited to be back at AP having performed in numerous productions for the company including her Carbonell Award-winning performances in Ruthless!, Tomfoolery, Heartbeats, and Annie.
