\"30x22\"<\/a>Veteran actor Steve Carroll will bring his one-man show, \u201cCharles Lindbergh: The Lone Eagle,\u201d to the Performing Arts Academy of Jupiter at 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 21 for one night only.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Carroll\u2019s show, which he wrote himself and has performed hundreds of times all over the U.S. since 2001, paints an intimate portrait of Lindbergh, who revolutionized the aviation industry in 1927 by becoming the first pilot to fly nonstop from New York to Paris in his famous plane, the Spirit of St. Louis.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHis nickname, The Lone Eagle, fit him well,\u201d Mr. Carroll said. \u201cAlmost everything he did, he did alone. Whether it was flying the Atlantic, heading up his son\u2019s kidnapping investigation or making a stand against entering World War II, he always seemed to be taking on the world all by himself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The play spans Lindbergh\u2019s life as he returns from the grave to set the record straight about his life. It uncovers his early barnstorming days, the famous flight to Paris, the unpopular stance he took against entering World War II, his subsequent heroism as a fighter pilot and his final days as a world renowned environmentalist. Then in a final twist, Mr. Carroll will reveal a secret double life Lindbergh lived in his later years, which has only recently come to light.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Steve<\/a>\u201cIt\u2019s pretty amazing,\u201d Mr. Carroll said. \u201cLindbergh died in 1974, yet new information came out on him only a few years ago. I had been performing my show for years when the news broke and had to incorporate it into my play.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Carroll has worked as a professional actor since 1977, appearing in dozens of Off-Broadway shows, national commercials and films. He also appeared as Dr. Matt Rawlins on the daytime drama \u201cOne Life To Live.\u201d He said his play examines Lindbergh\u2019s life on multiple levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, it is a work of drama that reveals the life of an adventurous pioneer who legitimized the aviation industry,\u201d he said. \u201cThe play also serves as a history lesson for anyone interested in the social and political issues that led to World War II.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the play focuses on the double-edged sword of celebrity \u2014 which led to the loss of his privacy, his home and even his firstborn son \u2014 and gives an inside look at Lindbergh\u2019s difficult but enduring marriage to his wife, Anne.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
