Dad a Star Wars fan? Then go see One-Man Star Wars at NJPAC on Saturday. One-Man Star Wars, written and performed by Charles Ross, is the comedic off-Broadway hit that condenses the original Star Wars trilogy into a whirlwind of fun and geek-ness. Ross has toured the globe for the last 11 years, delighting audiences with his unique and frenetic solo shows. After spending his early years longing for galaxies far, far away, he became an actor and eventually formed a friendship and partnership with actor and director TJ Dawe, who directs One-Man Star Wars and some of Ross’ other solo ventures, including One Man Lord of the Rings.

The opening lineup also features the Pidgin Droppings, a band formed from a stew of musicians from different genres who’ve found common ground with hip-hop, funk, dub, and various types of African music. For those looking for a cold drink, visit the outdoor beer garden starting at 6 pm for a variety of craft beers. Several other vendors will also be on hand with food, snacks and collectibles.
