American Stage Theatre Company presents the comedy "The Foreigner," which shows what happens when a group of devious characters meet a stranger they think understands no English. British demolition expert Froggy LeSeuer introduces his painfully shy friend Charlie as an exotic foreigner who speaks no English.
