The Linfield Fine Arts Academy is proud to present Larry Shue's The Foreigner from February 7-16, 2014 in the Black Box Theater. In this hilarious comedy, Charlie Baker needs to get away, and his friend Froggy knows just the place - his favorite fishing lodge in rural Georgia. To give Charlie much needed peace and quiet, Froggy even convinces the locals that Charlie doesn't understand English, but the plan backfires when the lodge's inhabitants proceed to reveal their deep secrets and diabolical plans in front of their quiet "foreign" guest. The nonstop hilarity builds to an outrageously funny climax in this wild and wacky show, and you won't want to miss our high school students as they bring it to life. Please e-mail theatertickets@linfield.com to reserve seats. Tickets are $8.00 for students and $10.00 for adults.
