Sheen to be in town in human rights play

Last update: September 25, 2007 - 11:08 PM

It will not be a full reunion of "The West Wing," but actors Martin Sheen and Bradley Whitford will headline a cast Monday in a Children's Theatre production of torture-themed play.

Sheen and Whitford come to town to mark Minnesota Human Rights Week, with events across the state from Saturday through next Friday. Actors Gloria Reuben ("ER") and Megan Byrne ("Law & Order") will also be in Monday's production of Ariel Dorfman's "Speak Truth to Power: Voices From Beyond the Dark," directed by Children's Theatre head Peter Brosius.

CNN's Aaron Brown will be master of ceremonies for the evening. Other events planned for the week include a private reception hosted by Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who will present a special award to Ethel Kennedy on Sunday.
