ABOUT THE SHOW:
The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by “Froggy” LeSueur, a British demolition expert who occasionally runs training sessions at a nearby army base. This time “Froggy” has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy young man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So “Froggy,” before departing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone the fun really begins, as Charlie overhears more than he should—the evil plans of a sinister, two-faced minister and his redneck associate; the fact that the minister’s pretty fiancée is pregnant; and many other damaging revelations made with the thought that Charlie doesn’t understand a word being said. That he does fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play.

Director’s Note:
The Foreigner was written as a farce where good overcomes fallible evil. However, it does contain negative stereotypes, adult language, and racist themes. In one scene, actors portray Ku Klux Klan villains dressed in robes. If you have any questions about this play’s content, please contact the director at Coreen.Janetzke@PCTshows.com.

Performance dates are Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, March 17 – 26.

This production will be directed by Coreen Janetzke.

PCT is excited to announce audition information for its Summer 2023 production of Disney Beauty and the Beast!

THE STORY:

The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.

Auditions will be held at Epiphany Lutheran Church (268 Hill Road North, Pickerington, OH 43147).
