One Man Stars Wars March 3, 2007

One Man Star Wars Trilogy is a hilarious, high energy, nonstop blast through the original Star Wars trilogy, but with one catch: there's only one cast member, Charles Ross. This writer and solo performer spent way too much of his childhood in a galaxy far, far away and continues to spend his adulthood there. Ross plays all the characters, recreates the effects, sings the music, flies the ships, and fights both sides of the light saber battles, making for a side-splitting evening.

Ross has performed his one-man tour de force across the globe, from Toronto to Edinburgh, Dublin to Dubai, winning critics over everywhere he goes. The Chicago Sun-Times hails Ross' performance as "wild, effortlessly energetic... he nails the tiny details that fans obsess over," while the Associated Press calls his impersonations "dead-on." Time Out New York says "his imitations are comical and energetic" and The Village Voice, "Ross projects more raw energy than a light saber." In the fall of 2006, Ross made his smash debut in the West End of London and embarks on a tour of Australia in March.

Since first performing his One Man Star Wars Trilogy in Toronto in January of 2001, Ross has brought countless audiences, both large and small, to their feet with his surprisingly unique shows. He's made appearances on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Today Show, and Late Night with Conan O'Brien. His off-Broadway debut in August 2005 was a smashing success with critics raving about the incredible intensity that Charles brings to his work. To mark the release of Star Wars: Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith, Charles was honored to perform at Lucasfilm's official movie release convention, Celebration 3. Even the likes of Vin Diesel and Sir Ian McKellen have taken in his performances with rave reviews.

Director T.J. Dawe has toured the Fringe festival circuits numerous times and toured extensively throughout North America and Australia. He received a Jessie Richardson Award for Best New Play or Musical in 1998 for Tired Clichés. In 2001, Dawe received the "Just For Laughs" Comedy Award for The Slipknot. Dawe was also the winner of the "Best Male Performer" award at the 2002 Orlando International Fringe Festival. Longtime friends, Ross and Dawe continue to collaborate - they'd be crazy not to.
