Seren Gedallovich – The Foreigner
Have you ever found yourself speaking abnormally loudly to someone who doesn't speak English? Or perhaps telling them your most embarrassing secrets? Well, what if they understood every word you said? This positively hysterical situation was recently explored in JP Taravella High School's performance of The Foreigner, a comedy by Larry Shue.

Anna Tenutta - Foreigner
Whether it is in the high-flown banter of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest or the asinine circumstances of Molière's The Misanthrope, comedy has often served as a potent messenger of social criticism. The intolerance, racism and ignorant hate crimes of the Ku Klux Klan were revealed by one fraudulent foreigner with a silly accent in J.P Taravella's production of The Foreigner.

Ara Parikh -- The Foreigner
The art of communication normally serves as a catalyst for bringing out the true character of a person. The exact opposite occurred in J.P. Taravella High School's production of The Foreigner, a play that brings together the delicate opinions of white supremacy and Georgia humor.

Mohammad Islam - Foreigner
The Ku Klux Klan, a feigning foreigner, and a gullible group of lodgers come together in an unexpected and exciting play with secrets, lies, and intense comedy – all prevalent in J.P. Taravella's production of The Foreigner, by Larry Shue.
