Celebrity Autobiography

APRIL 13 | 7 p.m.

BUY TICKETS!

CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGRAPHY is the award-winning, international comedy Broadway sensation that features stars acting out the autobiographies of…  other stars! Created by Emmy nominee Eugene Pack (creator of DCC: Making the Team, now going into season 16) and developed with Dayle Reyfel, the show has been critically acclaimed around the world from London’s West End to Australia’s Sydney Opera House to Broadway! Think Marty Short delivering a heartfelt passage of Justin Bieber’s dramatic search for a TGIF in Buenos Aires or Kristen Wiig interpreting “the early poems” of Suzanne Somers. 

The possibilities are endless, in both content and entertainment, since everybody has a book –and there are always new ones “hot off the press“. There will be mash-ups of many memoirs with different themes like rock stars, foodies, politics, sports, romance, and guilty pleasures. There are also dueling “he said, she said” duos – combining confessions of famous love affairs told from different points of view. CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGRAPHY is a fun and always surprising show that you simply can’t stop watching!
