The New Theater Company of
ArtsCenter will present Larry
Shue's hilarious comedy, "The
Foreigner" on July 15-18 and 22
25 at 8 p.m.
"The Foreigner" is the first of
two plays in The New Theater
Company's mini-season of
summer theater and the first play
in the new Earl Wynn theater at
ArtsCenter's new facility.
"We are excited because this is
the first production at the new
theater," ArtsCenter Communica
tions Coordinator Bett Wilson
said. The theater will not be
finished; the play will be presented
on the stage with the lighting
equipment from the previous Can
Mill Mallenter, she said.

mittee that chose "The Foreigner"
for the summer theater made a
very good selection because of the
play's timeliness. "The Foreigner"
takes place at a fishing lodge resort
in Georgia, where an odd mix of
characters confront each other and
the KKK. The play presents a look
at a corrupt spiritual leader and
at the KKK, two very contempor

Directed by Linda Wright of
Durham, the cast features profes
sional, paid actors who live in the
Triangle area. Production staff

Dudhoff, both of Carrboro, as
scenic designer and costumer,

Tom Marriott of Pittsboro

Englishman too shy to speak. His
friend Froggy (Don Horstman of
Durham) tries to help by present
ing Charlie as "Cha-Oo-Lee" who
knows no English. At Betty
Meeks resort, these two encounter
the engaging Rev. David Marshall
Lee (Mark J. Miller of Chapel
Hill). David's spirited fiance (Britt
Bergsten of Chapel Hill), her
