The Foreigner The Foreigner
May 16-18 2008
join us to laugh all the while as you visit the world of “The Foreigner” and remember when we could laugh at evil, question-mongering soreheads, and “turn the other cheek” on mean-spirited rebels. Plucky people of goodwill could confront wickedness and put it to flight. All it took, according to the gospel of Larry Shue, was goodwill, solidarity, romance, a trap door and a croquet mallet -- with a bit of dynamite for the cleanup detail.

With music by the legendary creative team of Arthur Laurents (librettist), Leonard Bernstein (composer) and Stephen Sondheim (lyricist), West Side Story features some of Broadway’s most beloved music including, “Soemewhere,” “One Hand, One Heart,” “Tonight,” “America” and “Maria.” In addition to winning two Tony Awards and the Academy Award for Best Picture, West Side Story became one of the most successful shows ever produced on Broadway.
