Our next production - The Foreigner

Several people have asked me about our next production, The Foreigner. No, we are not hosting the well known 70's and 80's rock band. It is a comedy written by Larry Shue. Here is a synopsis of this playwright's farce.

In Shue's comic gem, you'll meet an unforgettable cast of zany characters. Charlie, an extremely shy proper Englishman who has a fear of speaking to strangers, is brought by his friend, "Froggy," to a fishing lodge in rural Georgia, where Froggy tells everyone that Charlie is a foreigner who doesn't understand a word of English! Soon, everyone is fussing over and confiding in Charlie, including Betty, the kindly caretaker of this lodge; Catherine, a beautiful debutante engaged to be married; Ellard, her sweet but slow brother; and David, the minister to whom Catherine is betrothed. Charlie quickly discovers that all is not what it seems at the lodge and must somehow save the day - without revealing his cover! The Village Voice fittingly described this wildly funny play as "...a constant invitation to relax and laugh at the foolishness of life." We invite you to come on down, relax, and laugh with us at Imagination Theater this spring.
