Molly Shannon Joins Valentine's-Themed 'Celeb Autobiography' Feb.11

Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words continues its acclaimed limited New York engagement at The Triad Theater (158 West 72nd Street), performing Mondays at 7:30PM now through March 3.

On Monday, February 11, Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words will present a specially themed Valentine's Day show, with a line up that will include Joy Behar ("The View"), two-time Tony winner Matthew Broderick, Rachel Dratch ("SNL," "30 Rock"), Cheyenne Jackson (Xanadu), two-time Emmy Award winner Kristen Johnston, Richard Kind ("Spin City," The Producers), Jack Plotnick ("Lovespring International"), Dayle Reyfel, Seth Rudetsky (The Ritz), Molly Shannon (Year of the Dog, Evan Almighty), Jason Sudeikis ("SNL"), Kristen Wiig ("SNL") and creator Eugene Pack.

Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words features a line up of revolving performers who interpret the actual words and stories written by the famous and the infamous, in both solo and ensemble "chamber" pieces. Some of the "authors" that are featured in the Valentine's edition include Star Jones, Suzanne Sommers, Kenny Loggins, Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson, as well as the infamous memoirs of Elizabeth Taylor, Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, which are edited together to create a Rashomon-esque playlet in the participants' own words.

Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words, created by Emmy nominated writer and performer Eugene Pack and co-produced/developed with Dayle Reyfel, has been a monthly event in Los Angeles that attracts celebrities as guest performers and audience members. In 2005, Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words premiered on Bravo-TV as a one-hour comedy special (with a cast that featured Bruce Vilanch, Jay Mohr, Cheryl Hines, Kevin Nealon, Doris Roberts, Fred Willard, Julie Brown, Niecy Nash, Kel Mitchell, Laraine Newman and Andrea Martin), and received enthusiastic raves across the boards.

After nearly a decade and over 300 different biographies, Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words (produced in New York by produced by Angelo Fraboni, Eugene Pack, Dayle Reyfel and Peter Martin) has given actors the opportunity to "celebrate" other performers and celebrity obsessed audiences evenings of non-stop laughter
