Acclaimed actor/storyteller Stephen Tobolowsky will narrate stories from his popular podcast, The Tobolowsky Files, at the Vashon Theatre on Sunday, March 6, at 7 p.m. as a fundraiser for the Vashon senior class and the Vashon Scholarship Foundation. His last performance on Vashon in 2011--also a fundraiser for the schools--filled the house.
There will also be a reception for Tobolowsky, limited to 50 people, at the Sugar Shack on Saturday, February 5. It will feature local food and spirits from Seattle Distillery, as well as a silent auction. All proceeds for both events will go toward the Vashon High School senior class.
Tobolowsky’s career spans 200 films, many television projects and theater. He directed one movie,Two Idiots in Hollywood, based on his own play, and he co-wrote True Stories with David Byrne and Beth Henley. He has worked in theater in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles and was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play for the 2002 revival of Morning’s at Seven.
The Tobolowsky Files, launched in 2009, was inspired by his film Stephen Tobolowsky’s Birthday Party. It has been a regular feature on National Public Radio since 2012.
Tickets for Sunday February 6 are $30/person, and tickets for the Saturday reception are $20/person. They are available through the Vashon Theatre website: www.vashontheatre.com or at the theatre box office.
