New York Comedic-Sensation Celebrity Autobiography Brings the stars to Newark, for one night only, with Carol Kane, Rachel Dratch, Mario Cantone, Scott Adsit, Alan Zweibel, Annie Golden and co-creator Eugene Pack, Saturday, October 30, 2010 at 8pm

A hilarious cast comprised of Carol Kane, Rachel Dratch, Mario Cantone, Scott Adsit, Alan Zweibel, and co-creator Eugene Pack comes to NJPAC's Victoria Theater on Saturday, October 30 at 8pm to perform passages from the memoirs, word-for-word, of a wide range of celebrities in the New York hit, Celebrity Autobiography. Created and developed by Emmy award nominated writer-performer Eugene Pack and Dayle Reyfel, Celebrity Autobiography, features passages that run the gamut from the "poetry" of Suzanne Somers to the shocking "romance tips" from Tommy Lee to what it takes to turn the letters on Wheel of Fortune by VAnna White. Tickets are $35, $45 and $60 (which includes a VIP post-performance "Meet and Greet" with the cast at NJPAC's Theater Square Grill), and may be purchased by telephone at 1-888-GO-NJPAC (1-888-466-5722), at the NJPAC Box Office at One Center Street in downtown Newark, or by visiting the NJPAC website at www.njpac.org.

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.
