THEATRE + COMEDY

The Texas Rep Theatre Co., Houston’s Uptown Classic Theatre, closes its 6th anniversary season with a classic American comedy by Larry Shue, The Foreigner, opening on May 12th and running through June 5th, 2011.

This award-winning comedy classic is based on a devilishly clever idea, demonstrating what can happen when a group of devious characters must deal with a stranger who (they think) knows no English! The fact that he does fuels the non-stop hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go ridiculously awry for the “bad guys” and the “good guys” emerge triumphant. A constant invitation to relax and laugh at the foolishness of life, The Foreigner has quickly become one of America’s favorite comedies!

The Texas Repertory Theatre Co. production features a veteran cast of Houston theatre notables, including Jeff Lane, Alan Hall, Lauren Dolk, David Walker, Rachel Mattox, and Texas Repertory Artistic Director Steve Fenley, all under the direction of Guest Artist Walter Baker.

Closing its 6th anniversary season, The Texas Repertory Theatre Co. has become one of Houston’s premiere theatrical venues, and continues to offer year-round seasons of plays and musicals to the deserving audiences of NW Houston.
