MCC Theater's annual Miscast gala is one of the most exciting and unique theater events in town. Broadway's hottest stars perform songs from roles in which they would never be cast. An all-star lineup of performers will be announced at a later date.

Proceeds from Miscast 2015 will, as always, support MCC Theater's mission to develop and produce exciting work Off-Broadway, as well as its Youth Company and partnerships with New York City public high schools, and MCC's literary development work with emerging playwrights.

Last year, Miscast 2014 honored multi-Emmy Award winner Allison Janney.

Performers from past years include: Norbert Leo Butz, Megan Hilty, Raúl Esparza, Kelli O'Hara, Brian D'Arcy James, Steven Pasquale, Jeremy Jordan, Jesse L. Martin, Zosia Mamet and many others. Special guests have included Helen Mirren, Julianna Margulies, Andy Cohen, Charles Busch, Lewis Black, Chris Noth, Edward Albee, Kathleen Turner, Mo Rocca, Isaac Mizrahi, and many more.

Up next at MCC: the New York premiere of Jennifer Haley's award-winning play The Nether, directed by Anne Kaufman and set for February 4 - March 15, 2015, starring "Nurse Jackie" Emmy Award winner Merritt Wever, Tony Award winner Frank Wood, Tony nominee Peter Friedman, Ben Rosenfield of "Boardwalk Empire" and A Most Violent Year, and rising talent Sophia Anne Caruso. The 2014-15 Season will end with the world premiere of Robert Askins' Permission, set for April 29 - June 7, 2015 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. As previously announced, Alex Timbers will direct. Permission marks the return of playwright Robert Askins to MCC Theater, where last season he debuted his critically-acclaimed Hand to God-a play which will open on Broadway in Spring 2015 with its MCC Theater cast and creative team reprising their work.
