What better way to tee off our tenth season than with a reprise of Fairways, the "pure musical theatre" (Daily Herald) that made its world premiere on our stage in 2006?
 Told through 17 new songs, including the "New Shoe Soft Shoe," the "Practice Range Rap," and the "Leader Board Blues," Fairways is the witty and sophisticated story of two people learning not only the game of golf, but also the life lessons it teaches.
Sam is trying to learn the basics from Byron, his father, in order to play in his first business match; Kathy is learning so that she can play the mother-daughter tournament and help her mother settle an old rivalry with Nancy.
Fairways' book and lyrics are by Mary Hutchings Reed. The music is by Curt Powell. Please visit the Fairways website for more information |

"The return of the golf musical Fairways is a stroke of luck for audiences who missed the world premiere or have clamored to see it again at Steel Beam Theatre.
 "It’s a sister act for the theater’s Artistic Director, Donna Steele, and her sibling, Mary Hutchings Reed of Chicago, an award-winning writer who penned the play and lyrics. By day, the avid golfer is a Yale-graduate attorney practicing entertainment and copyright law." MORE |
