Like Chris Traeger — his character on NBC’s dearly departed “Parks and Recreation” — Rob Lowe seems to have boundless energy.
The fit, grinning 53-year-old has been working consistently since the early ’80s in everything from Brat-Pack movies and comedies to prestige dramas such as “The West Wing” and, currently, “Code Black.” But he still finds time for reality shows (including “The Lowe Files,” set to premiere Aug. 2 on A&E), cameos and now, his one-man stage show, “Stories I Only Tell My Friends: Live!”
Inspired by the success of his two New York Times’best-selling memoirs, “Stories I Only Tell My Friends” and’”Love Life,” the one-man show is billed as a peek behind the curtain at Hollywood, fame, fatherhood and marriage.
Lowe first performed a test run of the show in Mesa, Ariz., in May.
“This isn’t a regurgitation of the books, because that wouldn’t be very much fun,” Lowe said in a press statement. “This is very much its own beast, but it does have some of the same feel of the books.”
No word if the “beast” in question is a reference to’his recent Sasquatch sighting, but here’s hoping.
Lowe will bring the show to Denver’s Ellie Caulkins Opera House at the Denver Performing Arts Complex on Oct. 1 as part of a three-city tour.
Besides Lowe’s storytelling, the one-hour-and-40-minute show will include a Q&A and “plenty of insider film clips and photos,” according to the press statement.
Tickets start at $35 and are on sale now at denvercenter.org.
