A reading of The Music Cure, the latest installment in Project Shaw, will be presented Feb. 19 at the Players Club.

The cast for the one-night-only reading of George Bernard Shaw's play will feature Marian Seldes, Paxton Whitehead, George S. Irving and Barrett Foa. Show time is 7 PM.

The evening will also feature readings of Shaw's Interlude at the Playhouse and the New York premiere of his unpublished work The King, The Constitution & The Lady.

The Project Shaw series is produced and directed by David Staller, who last year acted with Dana Ivey in Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession at the Irish Repertory Theatre. Dates stretching throughout 2007 and beyond will provide an airing of every sketch, full-length and one-act play by the playwright.

Past participants include Blair Brown, Daniel Jenkins, Rebecca Luker, Michael Cerveris, Karen Ziemba, Michele Pawk, Jack Gilpin and George S. Irving.

The Players is located at 16 Gramercy Park South. For tickets, priced $15, call (212) 352-3101 beginning Feb. 1. Visit www.projectshaw.com for more information.
