5. Footlighters' 'The Foreigner' Tonight

The Walpole Footlighters will host their production of 'The Foreigner' at 8 p.m. tonight.

From the Footlighters website:

The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by “Froggy” LeSueur, a British demolition expert who occasionally runs training sessions at a nearby army base. This time he has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy young man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So “Froggy” tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone the fun really begins, as Charlie overhears more than he should.
