Description:

The company is holding auditions for "The Foreigner" Show and looking for actors, please see the details below. About the project: At a fishing lodge in rural Georgia, British demolition expert, “Froggy” LeSueur, regularly visits while running training sessions at a nearby army base. This visit, he brought a pathologically shy young friend named Charlie who is overcome with fear at making conversation with strangers. “Froggy” tells everyone that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Others reveal their secrets, and Charlie overhears more than he should thinking he doesn’t understand a word being said, and it fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and setting up the climax where things go awry for the “bad guys,” and the “good guys” emerge triumphant. Additional info: Auditions will consist of cold reading from the script. Please come prepared to tell of any conflict dates you have from auditions to final show date. Show date: February 14 & 15, 2025—8PM February 16, 2025—3PM February 21 & 22, 2025—8PM If you are interested please apply.

5 roles

Catherine SimmsFemale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

A southern belle who has traded her debutante title for a “soon-to-be preacher’s wife” title. She’d be happy about it, but her cynical opinions, cranky attitude and self-loathing tends to get in the way. She is heiress to a fortune and Ellard’s older sister and guardian. She is bored with life, restless, and uncertain of what she wants when confronted with an unplanned-for surprise.

Ellard SimmsMale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Catherine's slow but sweet, overgrown, backward younger brother who just needs a little bit of confidence to realize what he’s capable of. A kind, gentle-hearted person who no one really gives the time of day to until Charlie comes into the picture.

Reverend David Marshall LeeMale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Good looking, sincere, charming and confident. Engaged to Catherine. Must appear to be a genuinely decent person. When it is just him alone with Charlie however, he begins to show his true colors.

Owen MusserMale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

A local redneck property inspector and a superstitious, dangerous racist man that lives in town, who’s trying to steal Betty’s lodge right out from under her. Literally. Owen is a textbook bigot, prejudiced against any and all who don’t fit his idea of White, Christian, America.

ExtrasBoth genders17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Nonspeaking roles, part of a "secret organization" who come in to terrorize and intimidate the residents of the fishing lodge.
