THE FOREIGNER Closes February 7 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre

Hilarious and award-winning, The Foreigner by Larry Shue, which opened Beef & Boards' 2010 season, plays its final performance on February 7.

Charlie Baker is a shy man who is persuaded by his buddy "Froggy" LaSueur to accompany him on a vacation. 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 - with bizarre and unforgettable results!

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.

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 free.
