Roger Rees brings 'What You Will' to Edison Theatre
ST. LOUIS (SLFP.com), November 4, 2009 - Olivier and Tony Award-winning actor Roger Rees is probably best known to American audiences for his work on the small screen - as the dashing English tycoon Robin Colcord on Cheers, as British Ambassador Lord John Marbury on The West Wing and, most recently, as Dr. Colin Marlow on Grey's Anatomy.

This November, Rees, a 22-year veteran of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), will return to the stage with What You Will, a side-splitting one-man-show that combines the Bard's greatest soliloquies with colorful observations about the acting life and offbeat (and occasionally bawdy) tales of theatrical disaster.

The special one-night-only performance - presented as part of the Edison Theatre OVATIONS Series - will begin at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20. Tickets are $32; $28 seniors and Washington University faculty and staff; and $20 for students and children.

Tickets are available at the Edison Theatre Box Office and through all MetroTix outlets. Edison Theatre is located in the Mallinckrodt Student Center, 6445 Forsyth Blvd. For more information, call (314) 935-6543.

West End Players Guild presents Neil Simon's I Ought To Be In Pictures
ST. LOUIS (SLFP.com), November 4, 2009 - "She tells me I'm not what she expected. A strange kid walks in here in a mountain-climbing outfit, talks like Marlon Brando, tells me she was sent out here by her dead grandmother in Brooklyn and I'm not what she expected!"

So says a somewhat bewildered Herbert Tucker (played by Mark Abels), setting the stage for the West End Players Guild's production of Neil Simon's I Ought To Be In Pictures, to be presented November 13-22, at the Union Avenue Christian Church, 733 Union Boulevard. Fay McKenna directs the show for WEPG.

Performance times for I Ought To Be In Pictures are 8:00 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2:00 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $18 and may be reserved by calling 314/367-0025.
