William Shatner's One Man Show "Shatner's World" Adds 20 Cities To Tour

By popular demand, television and movie legend William Shatner will bring his one man show SHATNER’S WORLD: WE JUST LIVE IN IT (www.shatnersworld.com) to 20 additional cities across the U.S. in 2012-13. The tour extension follows a three week run earlier this year at Broadway’s Music Box Theatre from February 14 - March 4 and a successful tour of 15 cities across the U.S.

“Performing for audiences on the road has been one of the most gratifying experiences I’ve ever had as an actor,” says William Shatner. “My fans are the best in the world and I can’t wait to get back on tour this year.“

The 90-minute show will take audiences on a voyage through Shatner’s life and career, from Shakespearean stage actor to internationally known icon and raconteur, known as much for his unique persona as for his expansive body of work on television and film. SHATNER’S WORLD: WE JUST LIVE IN IT is produced by Innovation Arts & Entertainment; Larry A Thompson Organization; Adam Troy Epstein; Larry A Thompson; Seth Keyes; and Josh Sherman.
