SATURDAY: Charles Ross became famous with the "One-Man Star Wars Trilogy," where he played every character in George Lucas' opus and managed to keep the story understandable, poignant and, above all, funny.

Well, once you hit on a winning formula, you stick with it. So Ross is back with that other most famous fantasy trilogy.

No, not "Back to the Future."

In his one-man version of "Lord of the Rings," Ross takes the longest, most treasured epic of our time and turns it into a funny, snappy, costume-and-set-less hour of entertainment. Go. Your inner dork will thank you.
