The Foreigner, by Larry Shue
Directed by Noel MacDuffie

Laugh yourself warm this February with The Foreigner!

Can you take on the Klu Klux Klan with a motley crew of four, a croquet mallet and a stupid plan? Well, if you are the foreigner in Larry Shue's comedy The Foreigner, you might just have a chance! 

Populated with odd but loveably familiar characters, The Foreigner plops a shy and colorless Brit into a fishing lodge in rural Georgia. Terrified of conversation, Charlie Baker is presented to the other guests as unable to speak English. Then Charlie overhears some things he should not and in an attempt to right some wrongs, the silliness begins! He teaches his "language" to the assembled party, eats breakfast with a glass on his head and tells a story (in gibberish).

All seems well until the Klan (enraged by a foreigner living happily in their midst) invades. The croquet mallet comes into play and a stupid plan is formed with side-splitting surprises that just keep on coming!
