4:00pm - A Classic Theatre presents The Foreigner at The Waterworks

The Foreigner is a laugh out loud comedy of misunderstandings, by American playwright Larry Shue. The story takes place in a fishing lodge in rural Tilghman County, Georgia where two Englishmen, Froggy and Charlie, arrive as guests. The shy Charlie agreed to accompany Froggy on the trip after his sick wife begged him to go. When people at the lodge try to talk to Charlie, however, he remains silent. He is terribly shy, depressed about his wife’s illness, and cannot find the words to reply. Froggy claims that Charlie cannot talk because he is a "foreigner" from an exotic country, and does not understand English. Taking the explanation that he’s a non-English speaker as fact, the lodge’s guests quickly begin revealing their secrets, and Charlie soon discovers scandals amongst some of the residents of the lodge.

7:30 pm - 9:00 pm - Third Space Improv presents Unscripted Comedy at Third Space Improv

Third Space Improv presents Unscripted as part of St. Augustine’s Romanza Festivale. In this two-part comedy experience, audience members participate by offering improv actors suggestions to inspire games, scenes, and even a completely made-up-on-the-spot one-act play.
