An Unusual Team - Drew and the Bard

You don't exactly think of Drew Carey when you're thinking about a Shakespearean actor - but he's pitching in for a special performance in his beloved Cleveland. Here's the story from the Associated Press:
The Price Is Right host Drew Carey is ready to showcase his Shakespearean side in a concert appearance with the Cleveland Orchestra.

The Ohio native says he's "very, very excited" to be narrating A Midsummer Night's Dream though he's also a little afraid he might do something by mistake at the performance.

Still, the 50-year-old comic says it's going to be a fun evening and something he'd buy a ticket for.

The Cleveland Orchestra will accompany him with music by Mendelssohn.

It's not Carey's first brush with Shakespeare. He has participated in a couple of charity readings of the Bard's works put together by actor Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson.
