· Created and developed by Emmy-nominated writer/performer Eugene Pack and Dayle Reyfel, Celebrity Autobiography features a first rate comedic ensemble performing from the actual memoirs of a wide range of celebrities. The passages run the gamut from the "poetry" of Suzanne Somers to the shocking "romance tips" from Tommy Lee to the most famous Hollywood love triangle in history - Elizabeth Taylor, Debbie Reynolds, and Eddie Fisher. And what's remarkable and unforgettably hilarious, it's all in their own words.

· Past cast members have included Matthew Broderick, Jennifer Coolidge, Justin Long, Megan Mullally, Matthew Perry, Ryan Reynolds, Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Brooke Shields, Martin Short, Kristen Wiig, Fred Willard and more.

· Running for three sold out years in New York, Celebrity Autobiography won the 2009 Drama Desk Award in the category of Unique Theatrical Experience and the 2010 Bistro Awards. The show has been one of the most critically acclaimed productions ever in the Off-Broadway scene and one of the most "buzzed about shows" of recent years.
