WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
No Foreigners Beyond This Point is inspired by playwright Warren Leight's experiences teaching English in Guangdong (Canton), China in 1980.
In Guangdong, China, in 1980, just after the horrors of the Cultural Revolution, two young idealistic Americans become the first foreign instructors at a small isolated trade school. Their students crave access to everything western, the school's bureaucrats are desperate to control that access, and the Americans soon find themselves living under virtual house arrest. In a world where betrayal is necessary for survival, the students and teachers struggle to overcome cultural, political, and personal barriers to intimacy and identity.
The performance on Sunday, September 18th is at 7:00 pm and Sunday, September 25th at 5:00 pm.

Inspired by the Tony-winning playwright's own experiences, Warren Leight's flawed but fascinating No Foreigners Beyond This Point follows two idealistic Americans on a humanitarian mission to a country where the state controls all channels of information, government stooges regulate what foreigners see and what they can communicate to the outside world, and teachers instruct their students about the corrupting influence of decadent Western values. A Middle Eastern regime? Actually, it's China at the end of the Cultural Revolution. But it's probably no accident that the show's sound design includes an old Voice of America radiocast about the Iran hostage crisis, which was occurring at the ti[...]
