The Auction of 1000 Stars, a two-week, online auction presented by The Actors' Fund of America in partnership with Yahoo!, offers theatre lovers the chance to bid on Broadway memorabilia and shows, celebrity meetings and much more; the proceeds benefit The Actors' Fund, a 123 year-old human service organization that offers a variety of crucial programs and support to entertainment professionals in need. 

The once-in-a-lifetime experiences and memorabilia currently up for auction include: a 2006 Saab 9-7X SUV, a day on the sets of MTV'S "TRL," "CSI," "That's 70s Show" and "Arrested Development," a portrait painted by Peter Max, VIP seats at the Grammys and Tony Awards; David Hyde Pierce and Christopher Sieber hosting a VIP night at Spamalot, walk-on parts in Mamma Mia! and The Phantom of the Opera, dinner and dish with Julie Halston and Charles Busch and more.  The following bids will close on Friday: Matthew Broderick hosting a VIP night at The Odd Couple, opening night VIP tickets to Sweeney Todd, private lessons with Barbara Cook or Josh Groban, walk-on roles in Chicago and The Producers, and meeting Christina Applegate and Harvey Fierstein backstage. 

Also, bid now on memorabilia signed by Hugh Jackman, Johnny Depp, Ronald Reagan, Angela Lansbury, John Travolta, Bebe Neuwirth, Laura Linney, Julie Andrews, Chita Rivera, James Earl Jones, the cast of "Desperate Houswives," plus hundreds of vintage and new autographed Playbills.

A number of Broadway plays and musicals will host Sunday benefit performances: the closing night of Steel Magnolias on July 31st, The Pillowman on August 7th, and Glengarry Glen Ross on August 14th.  In addition, a one-night-only benefit concert of the Cy Coleman-Betty Comden-Adolph Green classic On the Twentieth Century (with an all-star cast to be announced) will be presented on Monday, September 26th.
