The Ringgold Playhouse will kick off its 2019 season Thursday, Valentine’s Day, with “The Foreigner.”

“This is, by far, one of the funniest shows I’ve ever done,” says director Greg Rambin Sr. “The opportunity to mold a production like this with such a great group of people has been an amazing opportunity.”

The play is set in a fishing lodge in rural Georgia that is often visited by Froggy LeSueur, a British demolitions expert who occasionally runs training sessions at a nearby Army base.

This time, Froggy brings along Charlie, a pathologically shy young man who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So Froggy, before departing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English.
