Timothy Maples in Emporia State Summer Theatre production, 'The Fox on the Fairway'

2012 Jun 18

When Emporia State University's Summer Theatre opens its second show on June 27, Timothy Maples of Chicago, Ill., will be involved in the production of "The Fox on the Fairway."

Written by Ken Ludwig, "The Fox on the Fairway" is the playwright's tribute to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s. Audiences will enjoy the hilarious romp that 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 is a furiously paced comedy.

Maples works in the costume shop.

The show runs June 27 through 30, and all performances are in the Karl C. Bruder Theatre in King Hall, with a 7:30 p.m. curtain. Individual tickets and season passes are available from the university box office at (620) 341-6378.
