Robert Wuhl to Star in Assume the Position at El Portal Forum

Emmy Award winner Robert Wuhl will star in Assume the Position, to be presented by Weddington Street Productions at the El Portal Forum Theatre, April 23-May 3. Christopher Ashley will direct.

The show mixes pop culture with historical events and lighthearted observations from pundits. Wuhl will be trying out new elements of the show, which were not seen in his acclaimed HBO comedy specials, Assume the Position with Mr. Wuhl and Assume the Position 201, in which he lectures actual college students.

Wuhl is also the creator and star of HBO’s ARLI$$, and has appeared in the films Bull Durham, Batman, Good Morning Vietnam, Mistress, Blaze, and Cobb. He has won two Emmy Awards for writing the Academy Awards telecasts, hosted by Billy Crystal.
