OK. I’ll tell an embarrassing story on myself. First, you need to know that I am the least athletic person ever.
Show Reviews
The Foreigner is now on our short list of the best plays we've seen at Barter over the years. How can anything be that funny??more > — K.N., a patron via Barter's Web site
If you need...should....or desire to LOL for 2 hours then The Foreigner is the play for you!!!!! Bravo!!!!more > — L.T., a patron via Facebook
Under the direction of Katy Brown, a splendid ensemble provides an unrelentingly funny, farcical two hours...The unflagging energy and precise timing of these Barter actors is exemplary throughout!more > — Gary Aday, Washington County News
I saw this play at the Barter years ago and was nearly afraid to go again because I didn't think I would enjoy it as much. No fear; it was still a wonderful, hilariously funny, play and the current cast was just as perfect as the first one had been.more > — M.S., a patron via Barter's Web site
Laughed so hard. We loved it. Probably one of the funniest plays we have seen.more > — J.C., a patron via Barter's Web site
Quick review: Barter Theatre production of "The Foreigner" was outstanding. Very funny.more > — C.D., a patron via Twitter
You might ought to plan on going to see Barter Stage II's "The Foreigner" twice - the second time to catch all the jokes you missed because you and your fellow audience members were laughing so hard the first time around.more > — Robert McKinney, Bristol Herald Courier
This show is way too hilarious and a must see for anyone who loves to laugh!!!more > — A.C., a patron via Facebook
A Q&A with Director Katy Brown Why have audiences loved The Foreigner? The Foreigner is funny in a very human way. So much of the humor comes from people’s misunderstanding about one another and their attempts to communicate.more >

Billy Bass says: "Come see The Foreigner!"
The Foreigner
By Larry Shue
This humorously inventive tale centers on a lovable but socially inept young man who escapes his stressful life to a fishing lodge in rural Georgia. He desperately tries to cover his extreme shyness by posing as a foreigner who doesn't understand a word of English. The plan backfires when his new persona becomes the perfect person with whom all share their deepest secrets and schemes making for an evening of non-stop hilarity!
