Las Vegas - The 2010 Super Summer Theatre begins performances of “The Foreigner” on Thursday September 9th, at the Spring Mountain Ranch State Park. Spring Mountain Ranch is located 10 miles west of 215 on Charleston.
Get ready for a classic comedy about mistaken identity. Set in a fishing lodge in rural Georgia, the comedy revolves around two of its guests, Charlie Baker and Englishman Froggy LeSuere. Charlie is so shy that he is unable to speak. As way of explanation, Froggy claims his companion is the native of an exotic country who does not understand a word of English. Before long, Charlie finds himself privy to assorted secrets and sinister schemes. His discoveries lead to a wildly funny chain of events where everything goes awry.
The Foreigner is produced by British National Theatre of America.
