New York City - MCC Theater (Robert LuPone, Bernard Telsey, William Cantler, Artistic Directors; Blake West, Executive Director) has announced fabulous additions to their all-star line-up for the company's highly anticipated 25th anniversary gala honoring a host of MCC artists past and present at Miscast 2011. Complementing the glittering, previously announced Miscast will be Christian Borle ("Angels In America," "Legally Blonde"), Justin Guarini ("American Idol," "American Idiot," "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown") and Josh Henry ("Scottsboro Boys," "American Idiot"). Andy Cohen (Host of Bravo TV's "Watch What Happens Live") will host the evening, which will take place Monday, March 14, 2011 at The Hammerstein Ballroom (311 West 34th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues).

David Duchovny (star of the recent MCC Theater hit, "The Break of Noon"), Téa Leoni, Hugh Dancy (star of yet another recent MCC hit, "The Pride") and Claire Danes are this year's honorary chairs. Funds raised from Miscast help MCC Theater produce some of the most talked-about new work Off Broadway and support their Youth Company and in-school partnerships that serve New York City public high school students, as well as their literary development work with emerging playwrights.

"We are doing something completely different to celebrate our 25th Anniversary," explained Artistic Director Bernard Telsey. "This year we are not honoring one person, but rather a group of superb artists, all alumni of MCC, who inspire us by their willingness to take big leaps and risks and, in doing so, have helped make MCC an Off Broadway leader."
