MURFREESBORO— Thomas Nicholas, star of the upcoming film “American Reunion,” is bringing “The American Reunion Tour” to the Tennessee Room inside MTSU’s James Union Building on Tuesday, Feb. 28.

The 7 p.m. performance, organized by MTSU Student Programming, is free and open to the public.

Nicholas is best known for his role as Kevin Myers in the original “American Pie” teen-film trilogy and its first two sequels. He’s also had roles in “Rookie of the Year” and “A Kid in King Arthur’s Court.”

The tour features the Thomas Nicholas Band performing original music as well as presenting clips from “American Reunion,” the fourth film in the “American Pie” franchise to feature the original character lineup.

Nicholas has been writing and performing original music for more than 16 years, and his band has shared the stage with acts such as Fuel, Tom Morello, Seether, Cypress Hill, Ben Harper and Jefferson Starship.

Attendees at the Feb. 28 show also can register to win an all-expenses-paid trip for two to Hollywood to join Nicholas at the premiere of “American Reunion” and for lunch the next day. MTSU is one of only 20 schools with a chance to enter the contest, organizers say.

“American Reunion” will open in theaters April 6.
