Black Widow, Iron Man, Captain America, And Hulk To Read 'Our Town' To Benefit Puerto Rico

Cast members from Avengers: Infinity War led by Scarlett Johansson will perform a live reading of the 1938 play Our Town by Thorton Wilder as a benefit for victims of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. Johansson will be joined by Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, and "surprise appearances" at the reading, which will be directed by Kenny Leon, according to a report from Deadline.

Johansson said of the event:

"The struggle faced by Puerto Rican residents since their island was ravaged by Hurricane Maria is terribly heartbreaking and has left many feeling hopeless and helpless. It is a great privilege to be able to participate in whatever way I can, to provide some relief to those that are struggling to access even the most basic of human needs in the aftermath of this disastrous event. Please help me and my co-stars in coming together for an extraordinary, one-time-only evening to raise lifesaving funds for a devastated island and to help celebrate the true meaning of community with this unique reading of a great American classic."

The performance will take place on November 6th in Atlanta, with tickets going on sale October 23rd.
