THE PLAY: Nothing like a relaxing game of golf, when there’s some “green” at stake. Another
hole-in-one comedy by the author of Lend Me a Tenor. A copy of the script is on Reserve at
the Metro Reference Library on the Fifth Floor at the Reservations Desk.

CHARACTERS: (Ages are a suggestion)

HENRY BINGHAM (mid 40's – early 60's) Director of the Quail Valley Country Club. He is witty
and cynical at times, much like Basil Fawlty. He gets into a high – stakes bet on a golf tournament
and will do whatever it takes to win.

PAMELA PEABODY (mid – late 30's) A member of the Quail Valley Country Club Board of Directors.
She is very attractive and sophisticated but a bit loose and a bit of a drinker.

JUSTIN HICKS (mid 20's) Bingham's new eager-to-please assistant who volunteers his services as
a golfer to help Quail Valley win the golf tournament. He is romantically involved with Louise.

LOUISE HEINDBEDDER (early 20's) A waitress at the Quail Valley Country Club. She is very
attractive, and a bit flighty and emotional, but also studious. She gets engaged to Justin.

DICKIE BELL (mid 40's – early 60's) Director of the rival golf club. He is a bit obnoxious,
including his fashion sense, but tries to come off as good – natured. He is Pamela's ex and
has a thing for Bingham's wife Muriel.

MURIEL BINGHAM (mid 40's – mid 50's) Bingham's wife, who runs an antique shop, which becomes
part of the bet between Henry and Dickie. Generally overbearing and stern, she somehow has a soft spot for Dickie.

PREPARATION: Please prepare a short (2-3 minute) comedic monologue if the Director is not familiar with your work.
Please also be familiar with the play as you will be asked to do cold readings from the script.
