Direct from London's West End comes AMERICA'S GOT DOWNTON. Actor, impressionist and YouTube sensation, Luke Kempner, creates more than 30 characters in this tour-de-force one-man parody that blends celebrity visitors with well-known characters from the PBS hit television series "Downton Abbey." Cultures clash and eras hilariously collide to help the cast save the estate from financial ruin - again!

AMERICA'S GOT DOWNTON will play the 710 Main Theatre this weekend, April 10 & 11. For tickets (39.50), call 1-800-745-3000, go to ticketmaster.com or to the Box Office. For more information, please visit www.AmericasGotDownton.com

Kempner, called "The Energizer Bunny of impressionists" by The Huffington Post, made his name with the YouTube hit "Downstairs At Downton" and appearances in musicals including LES MISERABLES and Avenue Q. Kempner's debut solo show won critical acclaim and sell?out audiences at the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

AMERICA'S GOT DOWNTON is produced by James Seabright, the original producer of the worldwide hit Potted Potter. The show is written and performed by Luke Kempner and directed by Owen Lewis.

Writer/performer Luke Kempner has recently appeared in Sleeping Beauty for Salisbury Playhouse, directed by Joyce Branagh and as the Professor in the UK tour of South Pacific, directed by Bartlett Sher. He created a role in new musical LIFT at the Soho Theatre, directed by Steven Paling. He's also appeared in the UK tours of Avenue Q, directed by Jason Moore and LES MISERABLES, directed by Laurence Connor. Luke is a graduate of the Guildford School of Acting. Director Owen Lewis most recently staged solo shows for Suggs, Mrs. Moneypenny and Hardeep Singh Kohli; previous stage credits include the West End and international hit Pete and Dud: Come Again.
