Following its recent Broadway engagement at the Music Box Theatre, William Shatner’s solo show, Shatner's World: We Just Live in It, begins a national tour March 10 at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, CA.

Shatner, the Emmy-winning actor best known for his work on TV's "Star Trek" and "Boston Legal," opened his solo show on Broadway Feb. 16, following previews that began Feb. 14. Shatner's World concluded its limited engagement March 4 at the Music Box. 

The two-hour show, according to press notes, takes "audiences on a voyage through Shatner's life and career, from Shakespearean stage actor to internationally known icon and raconteur, known as much for his unique persona as for his expansive body of work on television and film."
