Thanks, guys. If you hear of a F, 30s, send her our way.

Btw Kev, thanks for the F, 60s (your mother-in-law I understand) and M, 50s. Two excellent actors. The production is shaping up already and with the NADAs looming, we can finally hope for some silverware.

Dear all,

Greetings from the director’s chair and happy new year, if I can still say that on January 29th.

You are either a current “resting” member of the Fairway Players or you’ve been in our orbit over the last few years. Either way, I hope this email finds you well.

We are almost a month into rehearsals for our next play: The Hollow, a fiendish murder mystery by the deadly dame herself, Agatha Christie.

The world has turned and it emerges that the juicy character part of Gerda Cristow is now available. If you are in receipt of this email, you may be right for the part and I will happily hold a mini-audition for all those interested. Best wishes, Kevin
