Theatre company set to perform ‘The Foreigner’

JACKSON, Tenn. — If you miss live theater, we have some good news for you.

Speak Up Theatre Company is comprised of a group of Union University alumni. The company is rehearsing for their first play, called “The Foreigner.”

Founders Crista Wilhite and Nicole Snover say the theatre company started as a joke and it pays homage to their former professor.

“The Foreigner” will premiere Thursday at 7:30 p.m. inside the W.D. Powell Theatre at Union University.
