THE FOREIGNER
BY Larry Shue
Starring Charlie Peterson
July 22, 23, 29, 30, August 5 & 6
8pm Friday, 3pm and 8pm Saturday
Winner of two Obie Awards and two Outer Critics Circle Awards as Best New American Play and Best Off-Broadway Production. An inspired comic romp, equal in inventive hilarity to the author's classic comedy The Nerd. Based on what the NY Post describes as a "devilishly clever idea," the play demonstrates what can happen when a group of devious characters must deal with a stranger who (they think) knows no English. "I laughed start to finish at one comic surprise after another." The New Yorker. "A constant invitation to relax and laugh at the foolishness of life..." Village Voice. " Shue's comedy is positively antic, yet pleasantly seasoned with a few dashes of sentimentality. He has raided comedy's storehouse."AUDITIONS
