Drinks with Anne Hathaway going once, going twice ...

Bidding is now open for Anne Hathaway.

Like other meet-the-celebrity charity auctions, the Public Theater is putting some of its Shakespeare in the Park actors out to bid.

The Public Theater auction offers a tea party or drinks with Anne Hathaway (current bid: $1,248.56;) singing lesson with Audra McDonald (current bid: $1,525;) a walk-on role and spotlighted dance in “Hair” on Broadway (current bid: $1,122;) theater and dinner date with Jonathan Groff (current bid: $610.00;) and golf at Chelsea Piers with Julie White (current bid: $500.)

By comparison, those are still bargains compared with the $9,000 package to watch the U.S. Open with Andre Agassi from a luxury suite. The Agassi auction is through Charity Buzz, which also offers a visit to the set of “30 Rock,” Yankees tickets with Chevy Chase and lunch with JFK speech writer Ted Sorensen.

Elsewhere, Broadway’s “In the Heights” is offering a walk-on role through its auction to fund its “Graduate to New Heights” scholarship program. Also on offer: dinner and a show with Lin-Manuel Miranda followed by a backstage-meet-and greet with the cast.

If you’re still looking, Broadway Cares auctions routinely offers signed merchandise and an occasional meet-and-greet with Broadway performers.
