Friday and Saturday, Sept. 20-21 at 7 p.m.—PITTSFORD/RANDOLPH—Grab a lawn chair, your friends and family, your favorite flannel and get ready to laugh as Rusty DeWees brings his show to the Pittsford Village Farm Friday then Chandler Music Hall on Main Street in Randolph, Saturday.
Rusty DeWees, “The Logger,” grew up in Stowe where he was actively involved in theatre throughout high school and college. As a young adult, he performed with the award winning Vermont Repertory Theatre, before moving to New York City where he trained at the George Loris Actors Theatre School and the Lee Strasberg Institute. This professional training was followed by scores of notable roles off-Broadway, and in television, film, and national commercials. Missing his home state, DeWees moved back to Vermont where he continued his acting career and developed the Logger character.
An eclectic and innovative act, “The Logger” one-man comedy show is best described as “Blue Collar Comedy” meets “Prairie Home Companion,” and has been steadily selling out theatres, large and small, throughout New England ever since it hit the stage in 1998.
The success of the live act has spawned three Logger DVDs, two CDs, five calendars, Logger apparel (duct tape wallets and Logger thongs included), and Scrawlins, a compilation of his columns for syndicated and regional newspapers.
DeWees also writes, voices, directs, and produces radio and television spots for various companies throughout New England, and has always, throughout his career, donated his time to promote positive lifestyle choices among high school-age kids.
