Meryl Streep Taking the Stage at Women’s Summit

Meryl Streep is set to show off her oratory skills in a one-night reading at The Daily Beast's Women in the World Summit, and ET has the details!

The Oscar-winner will take part in an ensemble reading of SEVEN, a documentary play that tells the courageous stories of women from seven countries, at the Hudson Theatre in New York. Julie Taymor, who created and helmed the Boardway musical The Lion King, will direct the reading, which will also star Lauren Velez (“Dexter”), Shohreh Aghdashloo (‘The House of Sand and Fog’), Tony-nominated Julyana Soelistyo, and Archie Panjabi.

Streep and company's reading marks the opening-night event of the summit, a three-day gathering taking place from March 12-14 in New York that will bring together 300 global leaders from a variety of professions.
