Apr. 5-20
Written by Ken Ludwig

Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, this furiously paced comedy recalls the Marx Brothers classics. A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life, and man’s eternal love affair with … golf!
Ken Ludwig’s A Fox on the Fairway is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
Tickets go on sale on the Monday 11 days prior to each show’s opening.

The Malpass Brothers – The Franklin Theatre
Best known as modern-day troubadours who carry the torch for traditional country music, The Malpass Brothers began singing and playing together professionally at a very young age. Alongside their dad, Chris Malpass Sr., the siblings performed at churches all over the southeast, but they continued to hone their traditional sound by working alongside and among the legends.
In 2011, Merle Haggard produced The Malpass Brothers’ debut album, Memory That Bad, on Hag Records. The title track hit number 6 on the CMT Pure Country 12-Pack Countdown and remained in the charts for several weeks. In 2015, Bluegrass Hall of Fame inductee, Doyle Lawson picked up the gauntlet and produced their sophomore, self-titled album on Organic Records, and in 2017, The Malpass Brothers released a live album, Live at the Paramount, which captures the energy and excitement of their highly polished, traditional country music show.
