"Insecure" may not yet have a premiere date in sight for Season 4, but its stars Issa Rae and show frenemy Amanda Seales are uniting on a Clusterfest stage this summer for a different kind of collaboration. They're starring in a live table read celebrating the 25th anniversary of the classic high school comedy "Clueless."

Rae will play Cher (made famous by Alicia Silverstone) while Seales portrays Dionne (originally played by Stacey Dash). Other familiar faces round out the cast list: "Broad City" star Ilana Glazer plays Tai (played by Brittany Murphy); "Silicon Valley" actor Kumail Nanjiani takes over Paul Rudd's Josh; SNL's Chris Redd plays Donald Faison's Murray; and comedian and writer Jaboukie Young-White portrays Travis (played in the film by Breckin Meyer).

Others in the cast include comedian Langston Kerman, "Broad City" actor Arturo Castro, comedian Sinbad, writer Quinta Brunson and actress Janet Varney. To set the stage, Clusterfest will also bring in Jill Sobule, who performed the film's single "Supermodel."

Clusterfest is also staging a drag-friendly tribute to another cult hit film: "Romy & Michele's High School Reunion."
