Froggy” LeSueur and Charlie Baker are two Englishmen who have come to
Betty Meek's (sleepy little) Fishing Lodge in rural Georgia for a little rest and
relaxation. Depressed over his failing marriage, Charlie wishes to avoid
conversation with strangers, and Froggy comes up with the idea of
telling the locals that Charlie neither speaks nor understands English. Over the course of
the next several days, Charlie becomes privy to some outrageous - and very funny - information as
the locals confide their secrets to a guy they believe can't understand a word they say. An uproarious,
side-splitting comedy, The Foreigner has had audiences rolling in the aisles for over twenty years.

The ground-breaking, Obie-Winning, Off-Broadway smash, “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”, pounds out
the sound of one’s quest for individuality. This thought provoking rock musical tells the story of an East
Berliner/rock and roll goddess who becomes the victim of a botched sex change operation.
Searching for herself and the “Origin of Love”, Hedwig Scmidt rocks the stage sharing her difficult
experiences with cynical humor, voicing a raw but touching, story, “inspiring anyone who has felt life
gave them an inch, when they deserved a mile”.

The classic Charles Dickens tale of a young orphan who gets involved
with a gang of pint-sized pick-pockets is musically adapted to bring
audiences into 19th Century London. A young, abandoned Oliver Twist
lives in a dingy workhouse. Lorded over, and cheated, by the greedy Mr.
Bumble, Oliver escapes to meet the grim reality of street life. A sinister figure
cunningly takes Oliver under his wing, beginning him on the dangerous, adventurous
life of a pickpocket. This grim tale is juxt-aposed with the artful compositions of
Lionel Bart. With humorous lyrics and beautifully innocent melodies Oliver! will
touch the hearts of all who come to experience the classic Dickens story.
