Casting
HENRY BINGHAM (mid 40s): Director of the Quail Valley Country Club. He is witty and cynical at times, much like Basil Fawlty from Fawlty Towers. He gets into a high-stakes bet on a golf tournament and is determined to do what it takes to win. He is also unhappy in his marriage to Muriel and becomes involved with Pamela.
PAMELA PEABODY (39): A member of the Quail Valley Country Club. She is very attractive and sophisticated, but a bit loose and a bit of a drinker. Throughout the play she aids Bingham in his plans to make sure their club wins.
JUSTIN HICKS (25): 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 and proposes to her early on, but becomes emotionally distraught when things become difficult between them.
LOUISE HEINDBEDDER (23): A waitress at the Quail Valley Country Club. She is very attractive, and a bit flighty, but studious. She gets engaged to Justin early on, but a mishap results in her becoming very upset over their future together, making her bawl at a moment’s notice.
DICKIE BELL (mid 40s): The director of the rival Crouching Squirrel Country Club, with whom Bingham gets into a high-stakes bet. 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 (40s): 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.
Corbin Kids Company
Corbin Kids Company was established in 2011 as an answer to the lack of affordable, quality theatre camps for kids in the Liberty Area. The first year, we had 40 kids. By the third year, we sold out within three weeks of opening registration, and so decided to expand to two camps for the fourth year. This year we sold out within 2 months of open registration. We have two camp, the younger group is for kids ages 6-11, and the older camp for kids ages 12-18. We have a very dedicated staff, all of whom are volunteers, including our camp founder and director Maggie Thomas. We are able to do this camp, in part, to William Jewell College allowing us to use their facility. Camp is two weeks long from 6:00PM-9:00PM from Monday to Friday with an add on Saturday for the second week. Camp culimates in three performances, Friday night and then two on Saturday. We teach theatrical methods for the first 30-45 minutes of each night. Topics vary, but have included: STAGE MOVEMENT, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, TECH (sound & lights), SET DESIGN, COSTUMES DESIGN, MAKEUP, DIALECT & DIALOUGUE, STORY TELLING, IMPROV, THEATRE ROLES, and others.
