St. Joseph Resident Jamison Burchfield Stars In Olivet's Student Production of "The Foreigner"

2013 Mar 28

Jamison Burchfield of St. Joseph has the role of Ellard Simms in Olivet Nazarene University's student production of "The Foreigner," on stage at Kresge Auditorium in Larsen Fine Arts Center on Olivet's campus. Burchfield is a junior at Olivet. Show times are: Thursday, April 4, 7 p.m.; Friday, April 5, 7 p.m.; and Saturday, April 6, 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Directed by Emily Dillard, an Olivet senior from Galesburg, Ill., "The Foreigner" is an American comedy by playwright Larry Shue. Set in a resort-style fishing lodge in rural Georgia, this is the story of Charlie Baker, an Englishman, and his friend, Froggy, as they use humor to cope with some difficult situations. In the end, their humor creates even more difficulties. If you enjoy plotting and planning that threatens to backfire, this is a must-see!

Admission is $5 per person or $2.50 for students with a discount card. For more information, call 309-368-9941 or email edillard@olivet.edu.
