The starry 8 PM reading — which benefits Testimony, a project of the Courage Campaign Institute — boasts the talents of Alan Cumming, John Glover, Luke MacFarlane, Jason Ritter, Matt Gould, David Alan Grier, Justin Kirk, Michael McKean and Josh Stamberg. Michael Morris directs.
Lily Tomlin is also expected to make a special appearance.
Some Men, according to organizers, "chronicles the lives of gay men in the United States over the past 80 years, examining the challenges, the victories, the joys and the sorrows of this history through the prism of love and marriage."
Some Men played Manhattan's Second Stage Theatre in 2007 with a cast that included Don Amendolia, Michael McElroy and Frederick Weller. Dan Bucatinsky, Susan Dietz and Tom Kirdahy are producing the benefit.
Testimony is designed to "bring the Prop 8 trial into the lives of Americans and empower them — gay and straight — to share their stories and change the way America thinks about LGBT rights."
Tickets, priced $25-$250, are available by visiting TicketMaster: http://tinyurl.com/2b3743w. The $250 tickets include a post-performance, onstage reception with the cast and producers. Those unable to attend the reading on Oct. 4 can make a contribution to support the campaign's marriage equality work by visiting www.couragecampaign.org.
The Saban Theatre is located at 8440 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills.
