Celebrity Autobiography
How does Vanna flip her panels? What does Stallone have in his freezer? What makes the Jonas Brothers get along? Find out all this and more in the hit comedy Celebrity Autobiography, where superstar's memoirs are acted out on stage. Audiences often walk away asking, "Did the stars actually write that?" The answer: Yes, we didn't have to make this stuff up!

Created and developed by Emmy® nominated writer-performer Eugene Pack and Dayle Reyfel, Celebrity Autobiography features a comedic ensemble performing from actual celebrity memoirs. The passages run the gamut from the "poetry" of Suzanne Somers to the shocking "romance tips" from Tommy Lee to the most famous love triangle in Hollywood history: ElizaBeth Taylor, Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher.

Running for three sold-out years in New York, Celebrity Autobiography won the 2009 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and the 2010 Bistro Awards.
