The event features a host of Broadway, Off-Broadway and TV stars including Mike Daisey, Cristin Milioti (Once), Lea DeLaria (The Rocky Horror Show) and Eden Espinosa (Wicked).

Participants met yesterday and are set to present their original new shows at the Gramercy Theater in New York. Proceeds from the event benefit the Exchange's summer program, which nurtures the development of new work from around the world.

Other participants include Randy Harrison (Showtime's "Queer As Folk"), Alicia Witt ("Justified"), Ari Graynor ("For a Good Time, Call..."), Christine Lahti ("Chicago Hope"), Ashley Fink ("Glee"), Shanola Hampton ("Shameless"), Julian Fleisher (February House), Jonathan Marc Sherman, Daniel Goldstein, Joe Kinosian, Kellen Blair, Gordon Greenberg and Shae Sullivan.

“Every year, a wonderfully talented group of the best from stage and screen come together to attempt the impossible,” said Ari Edelson, the artistic director of the Exchange and the Orchard Project, in an earlier press statement.

Tickets, priced from $100, are available for purchase by visiting exchangenyc.org. The Gramercy Theater is located at 127 E 23rd St., New York.
