Directed by Jeremy Scott Blaustein, the July 29 reading will feature Stacie Bono, Max Crumm, Ashton Foster, Aaron Simon Gross, Ari Benjamin Hirsch, Guy Lemonnier, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Catherine Russel, Stewart Schneck and Kevin Spirtas. Show time is 2 PM.

In You’re Really Not Helping, a comedy inspired by true events, "powerhouse real estate executive Rod Landy (played by Spirtas) refuses to take life sitting down, which is tough since an encounter with a tree on a ski vacation has left this type-A control freak paralyzed from the waist down," according to press notes.

Of this in-your-face comedy, Grant said in a statement, "This is a comedy that’s clearly written from the heart. There’s something very important about its message, and it’s something I don’t ever recall seeing on stage before."

This reading (and all readings in the series) are open to the public. RSVP by e-mailing [email protected]. Due to limited capacity, there will be no admittance without written confirmation.
