FISHERS OF MEN to Return to the Hudson Theatre This Month

Faith and art intersect in Rick Segall's profoundly moving one-man show illuminating the final moments of Apostle Simon Peter's life, and how those moments changed the life of one man forever. FISHERS OF MEN opens March 4 in a limited three-week engagement at the Hudson Theatre in Hollywood.

The year is 64 A.D. A suspicious fire breaks out in the southern part of Rome, nearly destroying the city. Rumors begin to spread of Emperor Nero's culpability in causing the inferno after the Senate opposed his plans to build a new palatial complex. In an effort to deflect accusations, Nero pins the blame on a burgeoning religious sect of outliers, otherwise known as "Christians." Arrests follow speedily. Prisoners are tortured in the hopes of discovering the new religious sect's key leaders. On the eve of His Majesty's Anniversary Games, all the leaders are secretly detained, but only one is of utmost importance to Nero. His name is...Simon Peter.

Hudson Theatre is located at 6539 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles CA 90038. FISHERS OF MEN runs for a three-week limited engagement from March 4 through March 27 with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. General admission is $20.

Rick Segall started acting professionally at the age of 4 when he was cast as series regular Ricky Stevens on The Partridge Family. Other television a film credits include Little House on the Prairie, Police Woman, The Blue Knight, Fernwood Tonight, Temperatures Rising, How To Eat like a Child with Dick Van Dyke, The Last Married Couple in America, Oh God Book II, I Love Liberty with Robin Williams and Christopher Reeve, Laker Girls, and two seasons as a series regular on The Tim Conway Show.

Theatre credits include the role of Sydney Chaplin in Anthony Newley's Chaplin at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, the role of Eugene in Brighton Beach Memoirs Biloxi Blues and Broadway Bound as well as lead roles in Come Blow Your Horn, and Danny & the Deep Blue Sea. Some of Mr. Segall's favorite parts have been the roles of Fagin in Oliver, Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, Claudius in Hamlet (which he has also directed) and the Apostle John in St. John in Exile: the one-person play originated by Dean Jones.

In 2008, he was cast as the lead Rich in the world premiere of Erin Kamler's Divorce: The Musical at the Hudson Mainstage. Originally slated to run for only a few weeks, Divorce was extended for months with The Los Angeles Times calling it "genuinely artful, a vivid mosaic and Mr. Segall's performance as brimming with a raw emotionalism that is heart-rending." Following Divorce, he played the role of Sir Dinadan in David Lee's production of Camelot at The Pasadena Playhouse.

Rick has been a member of SAG-AFTRA since 1973. He currently resides in Los Angeles, CA with his wife and three children.
