Photo Coverage: 'CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGPRAHY: IN THEIR OWN WORDS - GAY PRIDE EDITION'

CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGRAPHY: IN THEIR OWN WORDS, which originated in Los Angeles to great acclaim and was later adapted for a Bravo-TV special, features actors reading selections from the autobiographies of the famous and infamous. The production recently won a 2009 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience.

B.D. Wong (Law & Order, M. Butterfly) and Frank DeCaro (The Daily Show) joined previously announced performers Michael Urie (Ugly Betty), Kristen Johnston (3rd Rock from the Sun), Jackie Hoffman (Hairspray), Rachel Dratch (SNL), Eugene Pack and Dayle Reyfel for CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGRAPHY: IN THEIR OWN WORDS -- GAY PRIDE EDITION as they read the words of gays and gay icons including Madonna, Diana Ross, Miley Cyrus, Pam Anderson, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Debbie Reynolds, George Takei and more.

The words of gay icons including ElizaBeth Taylor, Sylvester, 'N Sync, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Britney Spears, Madonna, Ivana Trump, VAnna White, Star Jones, Loni Anderson, Kathie Lee Gifford, Candy Spelling and Debbie Reynolds have all been performed in previous Celebrity Autobiography evenings.

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," NPR's "Morning Edition," CNN'S "American Morning," New York 1, WNBC'S "News for New York" at 11pm, and Bravo's recent "A-List Awards."
