One Man Star Wars Trilogy

THE ONE MAN STAR WARS TRILOGY enters a galaxy close, close by after success at Toronto’s 2002 Fringe Festival.
The One Man Star Wars Trilogy is a one hour, high energy, non-stop blast through the three films: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and The Return Of The Jedi. The catch is, there’s only one cast member. “Even those who have never seen a stitch of Star Wars will find Charlie Ross’ frantic recitation of the first three classic movies entertaining,” - The Toronto Star)

 

One Man Lord Of The Rings

Master-Impressionist/Super-Dork, Charles Ross, takes you from the Shire to Mordor and back in one hour.
Those who have seen the One Man Star Wars Trilogy might know what to expect.
One Man (Chares Ross) recreates, without the use of costume, set, or special effects, Peter Jackson’s trilogy: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and Return of the King.
Charles plays all the characters, performs the music, fights the battles, cries the tears, and ultimately triumphs over evil, in only 3600 seconds. If you’ve already seen the films, read the books, and named your baby Shagrat, drink a glass of milk and seek medical attention. But first see The One Man Lord Of The Rings.
A thousand perils, sixty minutes, nine companions.
One Man to do it all.

"Patron's Choice" as Best Play of the Toronto Fringe

Sev

Telling a story of his own. Sev chronicles his adventures as a cashier and service clerk at a 7-11 in Nelson – a small town in the mountains of BC – when he was a teenager, and discovering that his elaborate fantasy life could lead him to a life on the stage. The show’s in a similar style to his movie-based shows, with him acting all the parts and creating the environments with his voice and body. He does a thousand sound effects. He sings the stirring cinematic soundtrack in between lines. And he produces one gallon of perspiration per performance.
