A press release I wrote for the comedy show, America's Got Downton. I am especially proud of this work for integrating boiler plates from both the production company and the organization publicizing the show (Victoria Theatre Association).

AMERICA’S GOT DOWNTON
2014-2015 Star Attractions
DAYTON, OH – March 25, 2015 – Victoria Theatre Association continues the 2014-2015 Star
Attractions Presentations with the American premiere of the hilarious, one-man parody,
AMERICA’S GOT DOWNTON at 8 p.m. on April 7-8 at the historic Victoria Theatre. Tickets are
on sale now at Ticket Center Stage, located in downtown Dayton, or by calling 937-228-3630 or
888-228-3630 or online at www.ticketcenterstage.com.
Direct from London’s West End comes AMERICA’S GOT DOWNTON. The London Daily
Telegraph hails the show (called The Only Way is Downton in the UK) a “remarkable, tour de
force one-man show.” Comedian and master impersonator, Luke Kempner, creates more than
30 characters in this parody that blends celebrity visitors with well-known characters from the
PBS hit “Downton Abbey.” Cultures clash and eras hilariously collide to help the cast save the
estate from financial ruin–again!
Luke Kempner, called “The Energizer Bunny of impressionists” by The Huffington Post, made his
name with the YouTube hit “Downstairs at Downton” and appearances in musicals including Les
Misérables and Avenue Q. Kempner’s debut solo show won critical acclaim and sell-out
audiences at the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
AMERICA’S GOT DOWNTON is produced by James Seabright, the original producer of the
worldwide hit Potted Potter, performed at the Victoria Theatre in 2013. The show is written and
performed by Luke Kempner and directed by Owen Lewis. More information can be found at
www.AmericasGotDownton.com.
Tickets start at $25 and are on sale now. To purchase tickets in person visit the Ticket Center
Stage Box Office located in the Wintergarden at the Schuster Center or call 937-228-3630, 888-
228-3630 or visit www.ticketcenterstage.com today!
