Cheyenne Jackson will be one of the many performers taking part in Celebrity Autobiography.

Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words, the evenings that feature a cast of performers reading from the autobiographies and memoirs of the famous and infamous, will begin an open-ended, sit-down down run at the Triad Theater in September.

Beginning Sept. 8, Celebrity Autobiography, which played 12 sold-out nights at the Triad this past season, will be seen Monday evenings at 7:30 PM at the intimate theatre located on West 72nd Street.

A rotating cast of performers will take part in the weekly event. Among those scheduled to perform are creator Eugene Pack as well as Bob Balaban, Rachel Dratch, Susie Essman, Will Forte, Cheyenne Jackson, Kristen Johnston, Richard Kind, Carson Kressley, Andrea Martin, Dayle Reyfel, Tony Roberts, Seth Rudetsky, Claudia Shear, Sherri Shepherd, Michael Urie, Bruce Vilanch, Kristen Wiig, BD Wong, Karen Ziemba and Alan Zweibel.

Among the "authors" that will be featured are Ivana Trump, Vanna White, Mr. T, Star Jones, Kenny Loggins, Tommy Lee, Sylvester Stallone, 'N Sync, Zsa Zsa Gabor, David Cassidy, Neil Sedaka, Britney Spears, Madonna, 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."

The Triad Theater is located in Manhattan at 158 West 72nd Street. Ticket information will be announced shortly.
