Seneca Community Players Announces Auditions for The Foreigner

SENECA FALLS, NY, July 26, 2022 ------------ Seneca Community Players announced today that they will hold auditions for the upcoming production of The Foreigner by Larry Shue directed by Chris Boulter. The Foreigner is a fun, two-act comedy. The story takes place in a fishing lodge in rural Tilghman County, Georgia where two Englishmen, Froggy, and Charlie, arrive as guests. The shy Charlie agreed to accompany Froggy on the trip after his sick wife begged him to go. When people at the lodge try to talk to Charlie, however, he remains silent: he is terribly shy, depressed about his wife’s illness, and cannot find the words to reply. Froggy claims that Charlie cannot talk because he is a “foreigner” from an exotic country and does not understand English. Taking the explanation that he’s a non-English speaker as fact, the lodge’s guests quickly begin revealing their secrets, and Charlie soon discovers scandals amongst some of the residents of the lodge.  The Foreigner will be presented at LaFayette Theater 202 W. Main Street Waterloo, NY October 14-16, 21 and 22, 2022.  

The cast includes roles for seven actors, five male and 2 female. The cast includes parts for adult, late teen, young adult, and mature adult characters. Auditioners should prepare to read scenes from the script including monologues and group pieces. Perspective actors may be asked to improvise or take direction during readings.   Auditions will be held Monday August 15 and Wednesday August 17 at 7pm at Lafayette Theater, 206 W. Main Street Waterloo NY 13165.
