The Marcus Center for the Performing Arts previously announced that Charles Ross's One Man Star Wars Trilogy is coming to Milwaukee tonight, November 16 and tomorrow, November 17.

Writer/performer Charles Ross spent too much of his childhood in a galaxy far, far away and his adulthood has been no different. One Man Star Wars Trilogy is Ross's high-energy solo performance of the Star Wars Trilogy, and he will be landing his space ship in Vogel Hall. In One Man Star Wars Trilogy, Ross plays all characters, recreates the effects, sings the music, flies the ships and fights both sides of the battles from the original Star Wars Trilogy.

Canadian actor Charles Ross may have the best job in the world: professional Geek. As writer and performer of One Man Star Wars, he has toured the globe for the last 11 years, delighting audiences with his unique and frenetic solo show.

Born in a northern British Columbian town (closely resembling the Shire), Charlie spent his early years longing for galaxies far, far away. It was the discovery of a passion for acting (and a move to more southerly climes) that brought this geek-at-heart back to earth.

At university, Ross formed a friendship and collaborating partnership with actor/writer/director, TJ Dawe. TJ has directed four of Ross's solo shows- the first being the wildly successful One Man Star Wars.

After sold-out tours of North America's Fringe theatre festivals, One Man Star Wars has taken on a life of its own.

Licensed by George Lucas and Saul Zaentz : carrying the official banner of Star Wars- it's fair to say that Charlie now dwells in geek heaven.

With thousands of performances, in hundreds of cities, across four continents: from off-Broadway NYC to the Sydney Opera House, or the West End of London to the sands of Dubai- chances are this show has been there.

The worldwide love affair with this Trilogy is phenomenal- and it's been a dream come true, for Charlie Ross, to celebrate that love with the generations of fans around the world.
