Bay City's Whistling Idiots leaves them laughing with 'Fox on the Fairway'

BAY CITY, MI —From the opening monologue to the final romp, the cast of “Fox on the Fairway” had the audience laughing out loud throughout this almost two-hour stage farce.

The Whistling Idiots Comedy Dinner Theatre troupe proved when it comes to madcap antics, they know what they are doing – even with a cast of almost all newcomers.

The comedy is about man's love affair with golf and competition.

While the plot is simple, the action isn't. Under the direction of Idiots' Jerry Dennis and Caitlin Berry, the actors proved they are up for giving the audience what they paid for.

For the past 43 years, Quail Valley Country Club has lost the annual golf tournament to rival Crouching Squirrel, but this year, president Henry Bingham thinks he has an ace in the hole when one of the town's top golfers joins his club, leading him to make a bet of $200,000 and his wife's antique shop on the outcome.

What he doesn't know is it was all a set up by his nemesis, Dickie Bell, president of Crouching Squirrel.

All is not lost. New hire Justin Hicks, played by Idiot's staple Kyle Betzold of Kawkawlin, just happens to be one heck of a golfer – when he isn't upset.
