Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre Presents THE FOREIGNER 1/6/2010

By:

The new year brings a new show to the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre stage! The hilarious play The Foreigner by Larry Shue opens Beef & Boards' 2010 season. This award-winning comedy is live on stage Jan. 6 through Feb. 7.

Charlie Baker is a shy man. His buddy "Froggy" LaSueur convinces him they should vacation together. But after they arrive at the rural fishing lodge, Charlie just wants to be left alone. Froggy devises a plan. He convinces Charlie to pretend to be a foreigner who doesn't understand English.

But the plan backfires when other vacationers find it easy to open up to this exotic "foreigner." As a result, Charlie learns many secrets and schemes. Compelled to do the right thing, he tries to help the potential victims involved. It all builds to a bizarre and unforgettable outcome for all!

Beef & Boards favorite Jeff Stockberger plays the lovable but awkward Charlie, with Ty Stover in the role of Froggy. Kate Braun plays Betty Meeks, the owner of the lodge. Another audience favorite, Sarah Hund, plays Catherine, who is engaged to the Rev. David, played by David Schmittou. Dan Scharbrough is conspirator Owen Musser, while David Purdy is in the role of Ellard Simms, Catherine's younger brother.

Eddie Curry directs this season opener, which won two Outer Circle Awards as Best New American Play and Best Off-Broadway Production.

There are 36 performances of The Foreigner in the intimate space of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. Tickets range from $35 to $58, and include Chef Odell Ward's specially prepared buffet, including a fruit & salad bar, unlimited coffee and tea. Plus, at Beef & Boards, parking is always free.

For reservations, call the Box Office at 317.872.9664 anytime between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays.
