Press Release Of The Week: Mr. T's Comin' To Town—To Sing. For Cheap.

Mr. T—the Mr. T—has been cast in Portland Center Stage's upcoming production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, the company announced today. He will sing. About spelling. In drag.

"Not only does T bring to the project the cachet of a true musical theater genius," PCS Artistic Director is quoted as saying in the press release, "but his spelling prowess is legendary."

The show opens May 25. On April 1, PCS will sell any remaining seats in the season for $25 through the company's website to customers who enter the discount code "FOOL." See the release [and the punchline] for yourself at PCS's website. (Scroll down.)
