We suggest a don ation of $20 for folks who are able. Donations can be processed in CASH at the door or online via GiveLively (links to Venmo\, PayPal\, Stripe and m ore). \nCAUSE WE’RE SUPPORTING\nAs with all of our productions\, a porti on of proceeds will be donated to a cause we believe in. To further align our production with the themes of acceptance and community that are the un derpinning of this show\, a portion of the proceeds from this run will be donated to New American Pathways. As a Georgia-based nonprofit\, their mis sion is to help refugees and newcomers from all over the world navigate th e journey from arrival to citizenship. By supporting their work in refugee resettlement\, English literacy\, and career advancement\, we hope to hon or the play’s message of finding a sense of belonging and ensuring that everyone\, regardless of where they come from\, has the opportunity to thr ive in our local community. \nSYNOPSIS\nIn a remote fishing lodge in rural Georgia\, a pathologically shy man named Charlie seeks a quiet escape fro m the world. To save him from the strain of conversation\, his friend conv inces the local residents that Charlie is a “foreigner” who understand s no English. The plan backfires with hilarious results as the lodge’s c olorful inhabitants—from a cynical heiress to a scheming preacher—begi n to treat Charlie as a silent confidant\, confessing their deepest secret s and dark scandals right to his face. What follows is a high-stakes\, mil e-a-minute farce where a man who just wanted to be invisible finds himself the only person capable of saving the day.\n“A comic masterpiece… Shu e’s play is a tribute to the power of the human spirit to find a common language\, even when the words are all wrong.” — The New York Times \n CONTENT WARNING\nWhile The Foreigner is a celebrated comedy\, its plot cen ters on a conflict with a local group motivated by xenophobia and extremis m. Our production is committed to exploring these themes with modern inten tionality\, specifically focusing on the absurdity of hate while prioritiz ing the safety of our performers and audience. To ground the conflict in a more recognizable contemporary context\, we will be utilizing a “Proud Boys” aesthetic and physicality for many of the antagonists. In terms of staging\, we plan to use very limited traditional regalia\, supplementing the wardrobe with modern-inspired “inflammatory” costuming (ie: “Pr oud Boys” references). This approach allows us to clearly identify the t hreat and the play’s anti-bigotry message without unnecessarily overwhel ming the space with historical trauma-based imagery. We are dedicated to m aintaining an open dialogue throughout the rehearsal process to ensure a s upportive environment for all artists involved. \nWHEELCHAIR ACCESS CURREN TLY UNAVAILABLE – Our wheelchair elevator is currently out of commission and being serviced. We’ll update this form as soon as it is up and runn ing again. Please email info@renegadetheatreco.org for any questions about accessing the space.
