GM's Lutz to Perform in A.R. Gurney's "Ancestral Voices"

Bob Lutz showing how big his talent is

Repairing the company's image and proving Americans that you're indeed working for them just like you said in the past is extremely important nowadays, especially for economic recession-hit GM and Chrysler. This is probably what General Motors Vice Chairman Bob Lutz is trying to do as he will perform in A.R. Gurney's "Ancestral Voices" to raise money for charity along with Tony and Emmy award winners Elaine Stritch and Edward Hermann.

All funds will be directed to the Music Hall and to the Restore the Horse Foundation, according to The Detroit News, with both of them receiving support from General Motors in the past.

Bob Lutz will perform most of the action, the source added, and will play the story of a three-generation family living in Buffalo between 1935 and 1942. "He'll have to work, he'll have to come to rehearsals," Rick Menore of the Music Hall told the aforementioned source.

"We're hoping to get (GM Chairman and CEO) Rick Wagoner and (Ford Chairman) Bill Ford to do cameos," Menore joked with the interviewers, hinting that such a play would really attract lots of spectators.

This isn't his first public appearance, The Detroit News wrote citing Bob Lutz himself. Just in high school plays. But there are those who say I'm brilliant at acting in real life!" GM's vice chairman said when asked to name the roles he played in the past.

The two performances will take place on April 17 and 18 at the Jazz Café at Music Hall and only 100 tickets will be sold each night at $175 each.
