'Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words,' the acclaimed comedy sensation, returned to New York for a sit-down, open-ended run last night Monday, September 8, at the Triad Theater, 158 West 72 Street. ('Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words' will play a Monday night only schedule.)

The line-up of rotating performers for the run who will interpret the actual words and stories written by the famous and the infamous in their autobiographies includes Rachel Dratch ('Saturday Night Live'), Susie Essman ('Curb Your Enthusiam'), Will Forte ('Saturday Night Live'), Cheyenne Jackson ('Xanadu'), two-time Emmy Award winner Kristen Johnston, Richard Kind ('Spin City' and 'The Producers'), Carson Kressley ('How to Look Good Naked'), Tony winner Andrea Martin ('Young Frankenstein'), Tony Roberts ('Xanadu'), Seth Rudetsky, Claudia Shear ('Dirty Blonde'), Sherri Shepherd ('The View'), Michael Urie ('Ugly Betty'), Bruce Vilanch, Kristen Wiig ('Saturday Night Live'), Tony winner BD Wong, Tony winner Karen Ziemba, Alan Zweibel, Dayle Reyfel and creator/Emmy nominee Eugene Pack.

The celebrated performers who hit the Triad stage last night were Rachel Dratch, Cheyenne Jackson, Kristen Johnston, Justin Long, Eugene Pack, Dayle Reyfel, Claudia Shear, and Sherri Shepherd.

'Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words' features solo and signature ensemble "chamber" selections (for example, the memoirs of ElizaBeth Taylor, Eddie Fisher, and Debbie Reynolds edited together to create a Rashomon-esque playlet in which a group of performers act out the most famous love triangle in history) taken from actual celebrity autobiographies.

'Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words' plays Mondays at 7:30pm at the Triad Theater, 158 West 72 Street. For tickets visit smarttix.com or phone 212 868 4444.
