The Foreigner ~ Blue Ridge Community Theater
Starts: 08/27/2026 - Ends: 09/13/2026
The Foreigner by Larry Shue is a wildly funny, clever comedy about misunderstanding, discovery, and the unexpected power of silence. The story follows Charlie Baker, a painfully shy Englishman who takes refuge at a rural fishing lodge in Georgia. To avoid awkward conversation, he pretends not to understand English — only to find himself overhearing more than he bargained for. As secrets, schemes, and outrageous antics unfold around him, Charlie transforms from a timid outsider into an unlikely hero. Full of eccentric characters, sharp wit, and side-splitting situations, The Foreigner delivers nonstop laughter while also celebrating kindness, courage, and friendship.SHOWTIMES:

The Humans ~ Black Box Theater at BRCT
Starts: 10/22/2026 - Ends: 11/08/2026
Stephen Karam's The Humans is a haunting, darkly comic family drama that captures the anxieties of modern life with honesty and empathy. Set in a Chinatown apartment on Thanksgiving, the play follows the Blake family as they gather to celebrate the holiday. Over the course of one evening, secrets emerge, tensions flare, and unspoken fears about health, money, and mortality bubble to the surface. Blending sharp humor with unsettling suspense, The Humans is a deeply relatable portrait of what it means to be human in an uncertain world.
