Theater: The Triad Theater / 158 W 72nd St, New York, NY, 10028
Synopsis:
"Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words" is the brainchild of Eugene Pack. As Pack explains, "I would listen to a lot of books-on-tape, particularly autobiographies, and was astounded at what people would write about. If I got a hold of one of the books, I'd read it out loud to a friend, and they'd insist I was making it up….but people actually wrote these words. I thought that putting the material up in front of an audience would be extremely entertaining."
