Residents looking

to kick off their summer with a little comedy need to beat a path to Fairburn's

Southside Theatre Guild this weekend.

Opening Thursday

is Larry Shue's, "The Foreigner," which captured several theater

awards in New York when it ran off-Broadway.

The story is

set at a rustic, fishing lodge in rural Georgia.

Frequent visitor,

Froggy LeSeur, a British demolition expert on assignment in Georgia, has

brought along his extremely shy friend, Charlie, for some respite.

In response

to Charlie's reluctance to socialize and his pathological fear of simple

conversation, Froggy tells the others that Charlie neither speaks nor

understands English. The fun begins here and ends in a crazy, twisted

confrontation between good and evil.

Southside's

cast includes:

Froggy LeSeur

- Terry Hoffman

Charlie Baker

- Jonny May

Betty Meeks

- Marian Johnson

Rev. David

Marshall Lee - Michael Boylan

Catherine Simms

- Cammie Hall

Owen Musser

- Doug Searcy

Ellard Simms

- Kelly Davenport

The show is

directed by Julie Campbell.

"The Foreigner

is one of the late Larry Shue's great comedies and I have always wanted

to direct it. It is a hilarious show and appropriate for all ages. It

has been great to work with such a talented group of actors and crew,"

said Campbell.

The show runs

at 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday through June 14. Tickets are $10 on Thursday

and $10 for students and $12 for adults on Friday and Saturday. Phone

770-969-0956 or visit www.stgplays.com.
