    The Metropolis Chamber of Commerce proudly welcomes Keith Howard to the 35th Annual Superman Celebration for a live production of the classic "Adventures of Superman" episode, "The Perils of Superman."

    Mr. Howard is known across the country as the "George Reeves Superman" because of his love for the iconic Superman character as portrayed by George Reeves on the popular 1950's television series.

    Following the highly successful 2012 production of the "Lucy Meets Superman" episode of "I Love Lucy", Mr. Howard will bring to life the "Perils of Superman" episode of the "Adventures of Superman" in front of a capacity crowd at the Baymont Inn Theatre on Friday, June 7th and Saturday, June 8th at 3:00PM.

    Mr. Howard not only wrote the production's script and built and painted the sets and props, but will also direct and star as Superman in the performance. The production will also feature the acting talents of Ashley Bayles as Lois Lane, Alex Rinaldi as Jimmy Olsen, Joseph Rinaldi as Lead Masked Villain No. 1, Brandon Whitmore as Lead Masked Villain No. 2, Janine Rinaldi as Perry White's Secretary, Kevin Whitmore as Perry White, John Rinaldi as Inspector Henderson, and Juliann Rinaldi as Detective #2.

    Honored guests from the "Adventures of Superman" TV series will also be in attendance during the performance and include Laurie Mitchell Roberts and Gregory Moffett who had guest roles in the episodes "The Man Who Made Dreams Come True" and "The Stolen Elephant", respectively.

    "The Perils of Superman" episode originally aired on April 21, 1958 and starred George Reeves as Superman/Clark Kent, Jack Larson as Jimmy Olsen, Noel Neill as Lois Lane, John Hamilton as Perry White, Robert Shayne as Inspector Henderson, Michael Fox as Lead Masked Villain No. 1, and Steve Mitchell as Lead Masked Villain No. 2.

    The live production performance will feature many memorable scenes from the classic episode such as Superman saving Perry White from meeting his demise at a remote sawmill, Superman swooping in to save Lois Lane who is tied to a railroad track just seconds before a speeding train arrives, and Jimmy Olsen's car going out of control and off the cliff of a mountain road where Superman saves him as he clings to the face of the cliff.

Tickets will be available for purchase during Superman Celebration and will be just $6 for adults and $4 for children (under 12). The performances will take place at the Baymont Inn Theatre at 203 East Front Street.
