THE FOREIGNER

Commonwealth Theatre Company

The Story: While accompanying his friend, “Froggy” LeSeuer on a weekend fishing trip in Georgia, Charlie soon finds himself in way over his head in this non-stop, hilarious play. Due to Charlie’s overwhelming shyness, his fellow lodgers assume he must be a foreigner who doesn’t understand or speak a lick of English. Thinking Charlie must be totally harmless, he becomes privy to some very dastardly and sinister plans, none more devious than those made by a two-faced minister and his redneck associate. How will Charlie navigate these uncharted waters?

SOUVENIR

Brookville Community Theatre

The Story: A two-character fantasia on the life of Florence Foster Jenkins, an unmarried society matron whose delusions of singing grandeur led her to Carnegie Hall, where she performed her off-pitch operatic trills to the delight of thousands in the 1940s with the help of her pianist Cosme McMoon. The play with music examines their rocky but ultimately affectionate relationship. While it is unknown whether the real-life Foster Jenkins knew that she was not a great soprano, the comedic but compassionate play is based around the premise that she remained ignorant for the majority of her career.
