A cascade of comedy and was a solid hit on Broadway, this affair takes place inside an American embassy behind the Iron Curtain. An American tourist (Fred Due), a caterer by trade, and his wife (Ruthann Proch) and daughter (Kenyatta Edwards) rush into the embassy two steps ahead of the police who suspect them of spying and picture taking. It's not much of a refuge, for the ambassador (Dan Bordenkircher) is absent and his son (Alan Terry Jr.), now in charge, has been expelled from a dozen countries and the entire continent of Africa. Nevertheless, they carefully and frantically plot their escape. This show is filled with wonderfully eccentric characters performed by Greggory Allen, Don Campbell, Thomas LaRosa, Tamra Halsey, Michael Winternheimer, Angela Oxendine and CF Turk.

"Don't Drink The Water" is a comedy sure to quench your thirst. This production is being Directed by Dan Wilson.
