Multi-Award-Winning actor Ed Asner gives a Tour-de-Force performance as "FDR" Saturday Night at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts

La Mirada~Ed Asner, recipient of seven Emmy Awards ("Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Lou Grant") and 16 nominations, five Golden Globe Awards, member of the TV Academy Hall of Fame, and the voice of Carl Fredricksen in Pixar's newest film, Up, will star in the solo performance drama, FDR based upon Dore Schary's Broadway hit Sunrise at Campobello, which ran 70 weeks on Broadway.

FDR explores the life of one of America's best-loved presidents and the events and decisions that shaped a nation. This powerful play follows the iconic president as he reflects on his years in office, from inauguration to the trials of World War II.

Sunrise at Campobello, Dory Schary's play depicting FDR's early battles with polio, made its Broadway debut on January 30, 1958. Later made into a successful  movie, the play chronicles FDR's personal journey.

This one-man show takes through FDR's White House years including the Depression, the steps leading up to WWII and the war years. Ed Asner shows us why this president was known as "that man in the White House," scorned by many and admired by most.

Ed Asdner is magnificent as FDR and elivers a fearless performance of this dynamic and powerful world leader.

Performance is scheduled for this Saturday, March 20, 8 p.m. at the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts. Individual tickets are $65, $50 and $40. Call 562-944-9801 or visit www.lamiradatheatre.com
