Spring Awakening star Jonathan Groff has joined the cast of "My First Time," which will be presented on Monday, February 26 by producers Derek Collard and Gary Maffei.

The all-star Broadway concert will benefit Quality Services for the Autistic Community (QSAC). Directed by Igor Goldin ("A Ritual of Faith") with musical direction by David Andrews Rogers, "My First Time" will take place at New World Stages (340 West 50th St.) at 7 p.m.

Groff joins the previously announced Hunter Bell ([title of show]), Susan Blackwell ([title of show]), Heath Calvert (Good Vibrations), Matt Cavenaugh (Grey Gardens), Rick Crom (Avenue Q), Jeffry Denman (The Producers), Ed Dixon (The Scarlet Pimpernel), Hunter Foster (The Producers), Stephanie Kurtzuba, Anita Gillette (Cabaret), Garrett Long, Terri Klausner (Evita), John Tartaglia (Avenue Q), Mary Testa (See What I Wanna See), Asa Somers (Dance of the Vampires), and Jim Watkins.

"My First Time" is part of QSAC's ever growing fund-raising efforts to create awareness and raise monies for the many services that it provides people with autism and their families.

The concert "features a variety of first-hand stories and songs from the performers' own 'first' experiences, such as the first show they were in, their first professional stage success or the first show or star that inspired them to follow their hearts to Broadway," press notes state.

Tickets for this one-night-only event can be reserved by calling QSAC directly at 212-244-5560 ext. 2035. Tickets are priced at $25, $45 and $65.
