This an event.  Two words.  First word - four syllables.  Someone famous is a....yes, celebrity.  Second word.  Sounds like - parades.  No, not pomade.  Yes.  Charades.  Put it together.  Yes.  Celebrity Charades.  Wow.  It might be hard to play charades, but it is harder to write as if you're playing charades.  It doesn't quite work.  Ok, the whole point here is that a bunch of really famous people are going to play charades - for a good cause.

The LAByrinth Theater Company (the kewl NY theater troupe that was started by the even kewler Philip Seymour Hoffman) is hosting a benefit to raise money for the company.  They have come up with a fun way to earn some dollars - Celebrity Charades. 

What can be better than that; a bunch of fancy people making fools out of themselves as they play charades.  And when I say fancy people, I mean fancy.  They have lined of a starry group to gyrate and mime clues for the evening.

Bob Balaban, Bobby Cannavale (currently on Bway in Mauritius) , Billy Crudup (Mary Louise and Claire Danes' former Beau and star of the movies Big Fish and Almost Famous, also on Bway in The Elephant Man) , Rachel Dratch (SNL), Noah Emmerich (Little Children with Kate Winslet) , Philip Seymour Hoffman (Oscar winner for Capote), Richard Kind, Julianna Margulies (ER) , Andie MacDowell (Sex, Lies and Videotape)  , Mary Stuart Masterson (recently of Bway's Nine) , Christopher Meloni (Law & Order)  Martha Plimpton (star of Coast of Utopia), Cynthia Rowley (designer), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Rent) and George Wendt (of Cheers fame and the new Edna in Hairspray).  Can you believe!  Doesn't that sound ahh-some?

The event happens on October 29th and will benefit the LABryinth company (which started in 1992).  The evening is titled "The Battle of Good vs. Evil", but it sounds like it is ALL good to me!  You can learn more about the benefit and LABryinth's current show Bob Glaudini's A View from 151st Street HERE.  Ok, one last one.  Five words.  First word - not ocean, but...ok, wait this too hard.  I was trying to charade - see you on the aisle, but instead why don't I just...
