KEY POINTS
- Cast returns for first reunion since 2003 finale.
- One-night-only charity event in New York.
- Proceeds benefit F Cancer and James Van Der Beek.
For the first time in over two decades, the beloved cast of Dawson's Creek are reuniting on stage for a special one-night event. James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Michelle Williams and Joshua Jackson will join forces on September 22 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City for a live script reading of the show's iconic pilot episode. The charity gathering will raise funds for the nonprofit F Cancer and support Van Der Beek, who revealed last year that he is battling stage 3 colorectal cancer.
The reunion, titled Dawson's Creek Class Reunion, will also feature former cast members, including Busy Philipps, Kerr Smith, Meredith Monroe, Mary Beth Peil, John Wesley Shipp, Mary-Margaret Humes and Nina Repeta. Directed by Jason Moore and produced alongside creator Kevin Williamson and Greg Berlanti, the evening promises a nostalgic return to Capeside, where the beloved teen drama first captured audiences in 1998.
