"Ed Asner as FDR" brings to life issues faced by our country not only during the Great Depression and World War II, but also by contemporary American society. Asner, who has enjoyed a successful TV, film and voice acting career, is the recipient of seven Emmy Awards ("Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "Lou Grant"), 16 Emmy nominations and five Golden Globe Awards. He is a member of the TV Academy Hall of Fame, and most recently won accolades for his role in the animated film "Up!"

"We are excited to present a performance with so many dimensions," said Dr. Jennifer Fryns, director of Visual and Performing Arts. "We have an accomplished actor portraying a president's efforts to guide his administration during a compelling and very relevant era of our nation's history."
