1. The Foreigner

This uproarious comedy is one of the funniest shows to ever hit the American stage. Froggy, a British demolition expert who occasionally runs training sessions at a nearby army base in the deep hills of Georgia, brings his friend Charlie, a pathologically shy Englishman who has just learned of his wife's newest infidelity, to a friendly lodge for a period of rest and relaxation. In order to protect him from having to speak with anyone, Froggy tells the residents of the lodge that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. But some folks in these parts of Georgia don't take too kindly to foreigners.

2. How to Die: The Life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer

What are we to do in the face of evil? How are we to respond when we're called to grace and peace? How to Die: The Life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer is an intricate weaving of the life of the famous pastor and theologian, who, upset by the complacency he saw in the German church toward the Nazi party, makes the hardest decision he's ever had to make--a willing attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler. This thoughtful and engaging drama pulls the thread of Bonhoeffer’s life as he finds himself woven into an unexpected tapestry where he would daily be confronted by the need to stand for the truth of the Gospel in the face of crushing hostility and punishment.
