The stars of “Dawson’s Creek” are reuniting for the first time in 22 years — and it’s all for a special cause.

James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, Michelle Williams and more will gather together Sept. 22 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City.

The cast will give a live reading of the show’s pilot episode for a one-night-only charity event called “Dawson’s Creek Class Reunion.”

The event will benefit the nonprofit F Cancer and Van Der Beek, Holmes, Jackson and Williams will be joined onstage by several other stars of the show, including Mary Beth Peil, John Wesley Shipp, Mary-Margaret Humes, Nina Repeta, Kerr Smith, Meredith Monroe and Busy Philipps.
