William Shatner may be older than your grandparents, but this famed actor, singer and cheeseball refuses to throw in the towel. At 87, Shatner plans to appear at the Akron Civic Theatre Sept. 23 for a screening of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, one of the most critically-acclaimed films of the entire Star Trek film enterprise.

Following the night's showing, Captain Kirk himself will take to the stage to answer fans' burning questions. He'll also no doubt tell a bunch of stories about himself, a subject he knows well.

The film screening and talk is just part of a recent spat of shows put on by the Canadian legend. 

Tickets go on sale for the Akron performance on Friday and start at $50. VIP packages are also available for those willing to shell out the dough. You can even get a picture with the actor.
