The evening at the Players Club begins at 6 PM and features an all-star cast "playing all the 'wrong' roles," according to press notes. "Imagine Michael Cerveris as the teenage virgin St. Joan, or Kate Mulgrew as the teenage virgin Cleopatra, or Jane Powell as the teenage virgin Eliza." Producer David Staller directs a cast that boasts Kate Baldwin, Michael Cerveris, George S. Irving, Charlotte Moore, Jane Powell, Michael Riedel, Diane Stilwell Weinberg and Tom Viola as well as Irish musicians and others "set to participate in songs, dances and larks." Marian Seldes is the evening's special guest.

The evening, which honors associate producer Anita Jaffe, also includes a traditional old-fashioned Irish dinner: corned beef and cabbage, lamb stew, greenie pie, puddings and ales.

The Players Club is located in Manhattan at 16 Gramercy Park South. For tickets, priced $95, call (212) 352-3101. For more information visit www.projectshaw.com.
