Created and developed by Emmy Award-nominated writer-performer Eugene Pack and Dayle Reyfel, Celebrity Autobiography features a first-rate comedic ensemble performing from the actual memoirs of a wide range of celebrities. It’s all in their own words! The passages run the gamut from the insight of Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers to the shocking “romance tips” from Tommy Lee to the most famous Hollywood love triangle in history—Elizabeth Taylor, Debbie Reynolds, and Eddie Fisher.
The cast members for the Davidson College performance will include Saturday Night Live (SNL) alumni Jim Breuer, Melanie Hutsell, and Casey Wilson; original SNL writer and Emmy Award-winner Alan Zweibel; and the show creators of Eugene Pack and Dayle Reyfel.

It ran for three sold out years in New York, and won both the 2009 Drama Desk Award in the category of “Unique Theatrical Experience” and a 2010 Bistro Award.
