OPENING SOON: Ken Ludwig's "The Fox on the Fairway"
Directed by LINDA M. GRANGER
May 10-11, 17 -18, 2013 | Check-in: 6:00 - 6:30 pm | Dinner: 6:30 pm | Show: 7:30 pm
A tribute to the great English farces of the 30's and 40's, The Fox on the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp which pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it's a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers' classics. Ludwig presents a golf tournament beset with ill-advised wagers, lovers' quarrels, overheard secrets, a battle-ax who's a sucker for compliments, and the all-too-convenient and coincidental surprise ending. The Fox on the Fairway stars Chris Klaver (Felix from The Odd Couple), Ron McNeill, Charlotte Ruppert, Diana Lett, Jeffrey Kennedy and Rachel Mender.

Starlight to premiere comedy trio's newest work in 2013!
 Nick, Linda, Jessie & Jamie in Asheville, NC
DELTA TOWNSHIP, MI -- Three of the most popularly produced living playwrights in the United States have tapped Starlight Dinner Theatre to be the home of their next world premiere.
Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten (www.joneshopewooten.com) have had more than 1,800 productions and 12,000 performances of their jointly-written comedies. Next season they will premiere the latest in the series of the Jones, Hope and Wooten comedies at Starlight. Artistic Director Linda Granger has developed a working relationship with the playwrights through the Delta Township dinner theater performing their other works such as “Dearly Beloved,” “Christmas Belles,” “The Hallelujah Girls” and “Southern Hospitality.” Starlight will be opening one of their comedies, May 11, 12, 18 & 19, 2012, “The Red Velvet Cake War.” Granger met the playwrights in 2008 when they were touring Michigan theaters. Starlight Theater hosted a picnic supper for them. “During the evening we began to sense the passion with which Linda approaches theatrical productions and were impressed by the dedication of her loyal company members,” said Jones. “As the years have passed, we’ve marveled at her keen sense of detail and creativity as we’ve poured over the production photos from her shows she faithfully sends us. And we’ve been utterly delighted by Linda’s support of our work—she’s staged almost every comedy we’ve written and we’re tremendously grateful.” The title has yet to be announced, but Starlight Dinner Theater will include it as their opening show of Season 9 in October 2013. “We are thrilled with the prospect of a JONES HOPE WOOTEN World Premiere at the fabulous Starlight Dinner Theatre in Lansing in 2013,” Jones said. Meanwhile, Starlight opens “The Red Velvet Cake Wars” to keep their faithful audiences up to date on the latest happenings with the three Verdeen cousins of Sweetgum, Texas (just down the road from Fayro) whose love and warring will keep audiences in stitches. |
