Triad Theatre Welcomes CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGRAPHY, 11/22

The 2009 Drama Desk Award winner and 2010 Bistro Award winner Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words performs two shows Monday, November 22 at 7:30 and 9:30pm, at New York's Triad Theater, 158 West 72 Street, with a cast that is scheduled to include Scott Adsit, Michael Ian Black, Mario Cantone, Eugene Pack, Dayle Reyfel, Brooke Shields, and Alan Zweibel.
 
Celebrity Autobiography began its national tour this past summer with acclaimed performances in Pittsburgh, New Orleans, San Francisco, Chicago, and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, as well as an ongoing production at Los Angeles's Broad Stage.
 
The comedy sensation Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words features a line-up of rotating 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 include Ivana Trump, VAnna White, Mr. T, Star Jones, Kenny Loggins, Tommy Lee, Sylvester Stallone, the Jonas Brothers, Zsa Zsa Gabor, David Cassidy, Neil Sedaka, Britney Spears, Madonna, Tiger Woods, Carrie Prejean, Sarah Palin, 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 is playing to sell-out audiences and rave reviews at the Triad Theater.  Charles Isherwood of The New York Times called the show "big-yuks entertainment" and a "merry compendium of the witlessness and wisdom of the rich and famous."  Joe Dziemianowicz of the Daily News called it a "potent comic cocktail...you weep with laughter."  The New Yorker called it "inspired."  And Sam Thielman of Variety wrote, "Audience members hyperventilate.  It should lead a long and happy life."  The show has been featured by numerous media outlets, including ABC's "The View" and "Nightline," NBC's "Last Call with Carson Daly," NPR's "Morning Edition,"  CBS's "Sunday Morning," CNN'S "American Morning," New York 1, WNBC'S "News for New York" at 11pm, and Bravo's "A-List Awards."
