Join us at The Waterworks when A Classic Theatre presents The Foreigner – a comedy of misunderstandings by American playwright Larry Shue!
About The Foreigner
By Larry Shue | Directed by Harolyn Sharpe
The story takes place in a fishing lodge in rural Tilghman County, Georgia where two Englishmen, Froggy and Charlie, arrive as guests. The shy Charlie agreed to accompany Froggy on the trip after his sick wife begged him to go. When people at the lodge try to talk to Charlie, however, he remains silent: he is terribly shy, depressed about his wife’s illness, and cannot find the words to reply.
Froggy claims that Charlie cannot talk because he is a “foreigner” from an exotic country, and does not understand English. Taking the explanation that he’s a non-English speaker as fact, the lodge’s guests quickly begin revealing their secrets, and Charlie soon discovers scandals amongst some of the residents of the lodge.

* Once the bid is announced, everyone has an opportunity to bid by placing up to four quarters in their jar.
* Once all the bids are in and the paddles are raised, a randomly chosen number is called. If the person with that number placed a bid, he or she wins that item.
* Numbers will continue to be drawn until there is a winner.
Be sure to bring your rolls of quarters and bid on more than 60 auction items ranging from $10.00 – $100.00 in Value. Additional rolls of quarters will be on sale at the event.
