PAC Presents The Foreigner

Dominican University’s Performing Arts Center will present The Foreigner, one of Off-Broadway’s longest-running hits, the weekend of Friday, February 24 through Sunday, February 26 in the Eloise Martin Recital Hall, 7900 W. Division Street, River Forest.

Larry Shue’s light-hearted comedy, The Foreigner, premiered Off-Broadway in 1984 and ran for nearly 700 performances. Since then, hundreds of productions of the play have been performed across the country, including a New York revival in 2004 starring Matthew Broderick.

Set in a woodsy fishing lodge in rural Georgia, the play revolves around Charlie, a timid British proofreader who accompanies his more gregarious friend for a few days of R & R. His friend disguises Charlie’s lack of social skills by telling the other lodge residents that he is foreign and doesn’t speak or understand a word of English. The plan unfortunately backfires when Charlie overhears the darkest secrets of his fellow guests, including a plan by a villainous reverend to take over the lodge.

Join the cast and crew of the play for a free discussion after the Friday night production. Friday and Saturday performances begin at 8:00 p.m.; the Sunday performance begins at 3:00 p.m. For more information or to order tickets, contact the Dominican University box office at (708) 488-5000. General admission tickets are $15.

Founded in 1901, Dominican University is a comprehensive, coeducational Catholic institution offering bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Dominican offers 50 undergraduate academic programs through the Rosary College of Arts and Sciences and 15 graduate programs through the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, the School of Business, the School of Education, the Graduate School of Social Work, and the Institute for Adult Learning. In the 2006 issue of America’s Best Colleges, U.S. News & World Report again ranked Dominican University in the top tier of Midwest master’s level universities and as a “best value” for the eighth consecutive year.
