Rachel Dratch and Stephen Schnetszer have joined the company of the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center's Tales of the City benefit concert at the Music Box Theatre on March 27.

Written by Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears and John Garden, and featuring a book by Tony Award winner Jeff Whitty, the work was developed at the O'Neill's National Music Theater Conference in 2009 and had a subsequent run at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco in 2011. It is inspired by Armistead Maupin's novel of the same title.

The concert will feature Betsy Wolfe, Justin Vivian Bond, Armistead Maupin, Jose Llana, Wesley Taylor, Mary Birdsong, Josh Breckenridge, Jeffrey Carlson, Kathleen Monteleone, and Dianne J. Findlay, alongside Dratch and Schnetszer.

The concert is directed by Travis Greisler, with music direction from Cian McCarthy.
