Tony Award winner and Oscar winner Joel Grey will direct a 25th anniversary reading of Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart, on October 18 at the Walter Kerr Theatre. The event will benefit the Actors Fund and Friends In Deed. No casting has been announced.

The play focuses on the terrifying early years of the AIDS epidemic in New York. Grey appeared in the original 1985 Off-Broadway production.

In May, Grey directed a reading of the play, starring David Eigenberg, Clark Gregg, and Lisa Kudrow.
