We don’t want to wait for this reunion to get started!

The cast of “Dawson’s Creek” will reunite for the first time since the show ended in 2003 to support one of their own.

James Van Der Beek, Michelle Williams, Katie Holmes, and Joshua Jackson, will come together on stage at the Richard Rodgers Theater in New York City on September 22 for a live reading of the show’s 1998 pilot, according to Variety.

Other cast members, including, Mary Beth Peil, John Wesley Shipp, Mary-Margaret Humes, Nina Repeta, Kerr Smith, Meredith Monroe and Busy Philipps, will join as well.

The event is sponsored by F Cancer and Van Der Beek, who has been diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer.

Wiliams, who played Jen Lindley on the show, said in a statement to Variety, “We grew up in Capeside and that’s a bond that will last a lifetime. We wanted to gather around our dear friend James and remind him that we are all here. We always have been and we always will be. And I know the fans of ‘Dawson’s Creek’ feel the same way.”

Series creator Kevin Williamson also shared a statement with the outlet.

“I am so excited to reunite with James, Michelle, Katie, Joshua, and our ‘Dawson’s Creek’ family for such a special night. ‘Dawson’s Creek’ changed my life,” he said. “What began as a personal story about a young man and his friends navigating their way through the challenges of life became so much more than I ever dreamed. It created an enduring fandom and legacy all over the world. I am so honored to be a part of it and to support our beautiful friend, James, as we continue to navigate our way through life and its many challenges.”

Tickets for the event go on sale at Broadway Direct on Friday, August 22, at 10am PT.
