Miss getting your fix of Vancouver Fringe Festival shows? It’ll be awhile before the 2015 festival returns to the city. For the second year running, Vancouver Fringe Festival presents year-round programming, kicking the three-show series off with Charles Ross in One-Man Star Wars Trilogy.

After last year’s sold out run of One-Man Lord of the Rings, Charles Ross returns by popular demand with his One-Man Star Wars Trilogy, directed by TJ Dawe! Charles has toured the world with One-Man Star Wars Trilogy since 2002, when it was a hit on the Fringe circuit, with the George Lucas stamp of approval.

Much of Ross’ childhood was spent in a galaxy far, far away, watching Star Wars videos over and over and over again. The result of this misspent youth is his hilarious One-Man Star Wars™ Trilogy, where he single-handedly plays all the characters, sings the music, flies the ships, fights the battles, and condenses the plots into just 60 minutes!

“With nuclear levels of energy, [Ross] throws himself around the stage, performing not only the dialogue of Lucas’ movies, but the theme music, sound effects, and both sides of the lightsaber battles.”—Variety
