When shy Englishman Charlie Baker comes along on a trip to Georgia with his friend Froggy he can't bring himself to even talk to the other residents. But Charlie gets much more than he bargained for when Froggy tries to "help" him by telling the other visitors that Charlie is a foreigner who doesn't understand English at all. Assuming their secrets are safe, chaos ensues when Charlie overhears dastardly plots involving the residents of the lodge. Austin Playhouse is thrilled to present this hilarious comedy - the ultimate "fish-out-of-water" story!
The Foreigner will be produced in Austin Playhouse's temporary theatre at Highland Mall. The South Entrance (by the Image clothing store) is closest to the theatre.
We do not recommend parking in the main lot off Airport Blvd. From the South entrance, proceed down the escalator and turn right. Austin Playhouse will be on your right by the water feature. Detailed directions are available on our website: http://austinplayhouse.com/season/tempfac.html
