Audible has announced a new addition to its fall slate of live performances at the Minetta Lane Theatre: a reading of Have a Nice Day, taking place on October 7 and 8 at 8pm.

Billy Crystal, Annette Bening, and Kevin Kline will lead an all-star cast in this reading of Crystal and Quinton Peeples's play. Additional casting in the 13-role production will be announced later. Have a Nice Day will be recorded live at the Minetta Lane Theatre and made available to Audible listeners globally shortly thereafter.

The play is described as follows: "President David Murray starts the day in crisis. He's lost control of Congress, has to decide whether to run for a second term, and his wife and teenage daughter are barely talking to him. What's more, the Angel of Death has sent a rather inept 'repo man' who is at the foot of his bed, giving him only one more day to live."

Have a Nice Day joins a previously announced fall Audible slate that includes Patti Smith in Patti Smith: Words and Music, Aasif Mandvi in Sakina's Restaurant, Chisa Hutchinson's Proof of Love, and Isaac Gomez's The Way She Spoke.
