For someone who has been acting in plays since he “was knee-high to a grasshopper,” the 91 years-young John Cullum has lost none of his love for performing. That is evident in “John Cullum: An Accidental Star.”

Conceived by Cullum and Jeff Berger and written by David Thompson, the show is a vehicle for the Tennessee-born Cullum to look back at some of what he calls the lucky accidents which befell him in his career. Offering these recollections with a slightly self-deprecating delivery, these tales both gently envelop and engage the viewer.
