Jennifer Aniston Conquers Broadway, for a Night

Jennifer Aniston had a one-night stand in Manhattan on Monday, impressing the crowd at the 6th Annual 24 Hour Plays on Broadway benefit, which featured six 10-minute plays conceived, written, rehearsed and performed all within one day. [yawn]

In her play, Three Girls and Bob â€“ her Broadway debut â€“ Aniston played a single woman who attends an intimacy workshop with two friends (Rosie Perez and Lynn Whitfield) and then tries out its lessons on a hapless man (David Cross.) “It shouldn’t be this hard,” her character says of single life.

Costar Perez â€“ who is on the board of the event’s beneficiary, Working Playground, which brings arts education to New York City classrooms â€“ states that Aniston lent star wattage to the event. “We had a real boost from Jennifer Aniston,” she said. “She was as sweet as pie. I really appreciated her coming because she raised the profile of tonight’s event and that is going to help so much. She didn’t have to do this. She didn’t have to take time out of her schedule.”

How did Aniston get involved? “The 24 Hour Plays people approached her and she said yes. But when she found out about Working Playground, she was over the moon. She said, ‘I’ll do all the press. I’ll do whatever you want.’ ” source
