Guest Artist Named

CANTON, Mo. – Culver-Stockton has announced the cast of its April 2-5 production of The Foreigner by Larry Shue with guest artist, Matt Doherty, former child actor known for his work in The Mighty Ducks series.

Set in a resort-style fishing lodge in rural Georgia, the comedy revolves around two of its guests, Charlie Baker, being played by Doherty. Due to his extreme shyness, Charlie is unable to speak. To explain the situation, Froggy claims his companion is the native of an exotic country who does not understand a word of English. Before long, Charlie finds himself privy to assorted secrets and scandals freely discussed in front of him by the other visitors.

Junior theatre major Nick Relic from Kansas City, Mo, will understudy Doherty.
