The two hour 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.

Scott Faris (Director) directed Bette Midler's last show, The Showgirl Must Go On, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, recently seen on HBO. He has directed Chicago, The Musical, in over a dozen languages in seventeen countries around the world. His arena spectacular, Walking With Dinosaurs, garnered rave reviews in Australia, the US and the UK and had record-breaking, sell-out runs at both New York's Madison Square Garden and London's O2 Arena. He took over the helm on the original Leslie Bricusse musical, Sammy at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, which enjoyed a sold out run. In Las Vegas, he directed EFX! starring Michael Crawford, and he was part of the production team that created the amazing Siegfried & Roy at the Mirage Hotel. He has also worked as a directing consultant for Cirque du Soleil. Scott started his career as an actor in musicals, among them A Chorus Line. He honed his directing skills by working as a production stage manager for some of the best directors on Broadway on many Tony Award winning productions such as City of Angels, Les Miserables, Cabaret, Cats, Grease, Ain't Misbehavin', Children of a Lesser God, and non-award winning but still legendary productions like Busker Alley and Whistle Down The Wind.
