Ken Ludwig’s A Fox on the Fairway

September 19-October 12, 2025

By Ken Ludwig

Directed by David Alan Morrison

Accusations, mistaken identities, and romances run wild in this traditional, laugh-out-loud farce. Two nuns at the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing have been secretly making wine to keep the convent’s doors open, but Paul and Sally, reporters and former fiancées, are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. Wine and secrets are inevitably spilled as everyone tries to preserve the convent and reconnect with lost loves.

Audience members determine the fate of the evening by choosing from cards representing the potential murderers, weapons, and rooms; there are 216 possible solutions! The audience helps deduce the solution from clues given throughout the fun-filled evening. Only one hard-nosed female detective is qualified to unravel the merry mayhem. Comic antics, witty lyrics, and a beguiling score carry the investigation from room to room.

  • Shoreline Area News Review
  • “My recent visit FAR EXCEEDED my expectations and everyone in my group felt the same way. The play was very entertaining and we had exceptional service at the box office. I’m planning to get tickets to another EDP show soon!”
  • “As retirees on a fixed income we love finding affordable live entertainment and the Driftwood Theater remains something we can treat ourselves to a couple times a year. It’s a charming theater and everything we’ve seen there is super. The talent is always great and the selection of plays we’ve seen have been varied and always an enjoyable evening out.”
  • “Love the holiday plays – attended two years in a row now and love having a community theater option to introduce our kids to kid-friendly plays. Trying to find a way to attend a grown-ups only performance in the near future. We’ve really enjoyed both performances so far – great casting, acting, friendly staff/ushers.”
  • “I enjoy your little theatre. It is our tradition with my daughter and granddaughter (she is now 9 yrs old) to go to your play at the start of the holiday season.”

By chance, Kris Kringle, an old man in a retirement home, gets a job working as Santa for Macy’s. Kris unleashes waves of good will with Macy’s customers and the commercial world of New York City by referring parents to other stores to find exactly the toy their child has asked for. Seen as deluded and dangerous by Macy’s vocational counselor, who plots to have Kris shanghaied to Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital, Kris ends up in a court competency hearing. Especially at stake is one little girl’s belief in Santa. In a dramatic decision, the court confirms Kris as the true Santa, allowing Susan and countless other children to experience the joy of childhood fantasy.

Murder Inn

  • Shoreline Area News Review
  • “We love attending your performances. You never fail to exceed our expectations for a fun evening. The acting in this play was fabulous. The script, directing, set, lighting… top notch. All of the volunteers look happy and are completely capable. The location is easy to get to, easy parking, and easy to find a place for a nightcap afterward. But mostly, we always enjoy the show. You guys are amazing.”
  • “I feel so lucky to have such a great entertainment group in Edmonds!”
  • “Oh Boy!! We’ve been laughing about the play, the actors, the staging, the scripting… All of it! Our first EDP play but will not be our last.”

Murder Inn is set in New England, at the Barnsley Inn, a dilapidated eighteenth century inn, which is supposedly haunted by Marco, a knife-throwing poltergeist. A group of tourists, on a tour-Ghosts and Ghouls of New England-is forced, by a storm, to make an unscheduled stop at the Barnsley. What looks to be an unpleasant and uncomfortable detour soon turns into a night of mayhem and madness as knives begin to pop up… in the most unexpected places. As the storm builds and the body count rises, the survivors try to figure out who done it. And even more important- who’s likely to have it done to them next?

“Murder Inn” was presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
