"It's always fun to find actors with real star quality," says Chris Weatherhead, Actors' Theatre of South Carolina co-founder and acting coach for 30 years. "Miles Pittman is in that category. He is on the rise. Catch him before he leaves for New York or LA, in his one-man tour de force, Seven Ages of Man. He will amaze you."

Saints and sinners of Shakespeare are the theme of this fast-paced meeting of many men. The audience will meet ten of The Bard's most fascinating men, including Richard III, Hotspur, Macbeth, Romeo, Mercutio, Hamlet and the philosopher, Jacquies.
