Ellen Page and Jennifer Garner reunited live on stage over the weekend!
The 30-year-old actress and Jennifer, 44, reprised their roles as Juno, the pregnant 16-year-old, and Vanessa, the woman who adopts Juno’s baby, in a special all-woman live reading of their movie Juno held at The Theatre at Ace Hotel on Saturday (April 8) in Los Angeles.
Ellen and Jennifer were joined by Alia Shawkat, Kristen Wiig, Tig Notaro, Tracee Ellis Ross and Issa Rae, who filled in the other roles for the reading benefiting Planned Parenthood.
The event was organized by the movie’s Oscar-nominated director Jason Reitman, who has been putting on live read events for several years now. “Like many other people, I felt like I wanted to do something. I wanted to find a way to contribute to the causes that have never felt more important,” Jason told EW. “It occurred to me that I have this show that could be used as a tool to not only raise money for causes that need the help, but could serve as an opportunity for a group like Planned Parenthood to connect with an audience who can be presented with new ideas, or even an action item.”
