Steve Buscemi, Edie Falco, Michael Imperioli, Jesse L. Martin, Steve Schirripa, and Anabella Sciorra will perform at First Readings: A Benefit for Studio Dante, to be held at 6:30pm on Monday, March 20 at the Dahesh Musuem of Art (580 Madison Avenue).

The evening, which is presented by Architectural Digest, will benefit the theatre company started by Imperioli and his wife Victoria. It will include the readings of two short plays, as well as cocktails, light supper, live action, a tribute to actors Seymour Cassell and Ben Gazzara, and a post-performance reception.

The production, to be directed by Brian Mertes, stars Michael Cullen, Jeremy Davidson, James Hendricks, Marin Ireland, Hamish Linklater, Lucas Papaelias, and Matthew Stadelman.
