13-Year-Old Michael Ausiello Presents: Beverly Hills - A Pretend Soap Opera Performed By Real Actors

Producers Jay Marcus and Michael Ausiello have announced  that following its string of sold-out shows in Los Angeles, 13-Year-Old Michael Ausiello Presents: BEVERLY HILLS - A Pretend Soap Opera Performed by Real Actors will make its New York debut in a cold reading at the Newman Mills at the Robert W Wilson MCC Theater Space (511 W 52nd St) on Mon Sept 8. Joining the ranks of celebrities and comedians who have already performed in the show will be Rachel Dratch, Ana Gasteyer, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Jim Parsons, Busy Philipps, Mitch Silpa, Michael Urie, and Bowen Yang. Tickets are now available via https://mcctheater.org/.  In the 1980s’ Golden Age of television (see: Dallas and Falcon Crest), back when Michael Ausiello was but a closeted gay teen doing his damnedest to get by in small-town New Jersey, he penned 517 episodes of an original soap opera called "Beverly Hills." Miraculously, the future founder of TVLine and author of “Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies” saved every handwritten script, and for the past year has been staging sold-out cold readings of the episodes at Los Angeles’ iconic Dynasty Typewriter. Now, the daytime drama makes its New York debut with a one-night only performance to benefit the Ali Forney Center. The evening is written and created by 13-Year-Old Michael Ausiello and directed by 53-Year-Old Michael Ausiello. The show features casting by Henry Russell Bergstein.
