Jennifer Aniston took to the stage in New York City on Monday night to show off her singing skills in a star-studded theater event.

The former Friends actress signed up to appear in The 24-Hour Plays, a series of six short works which are written, rehearsed and performed in just one day. The grueling task gives actors less than 12 hours to polish their performance before the curtain goes up.

Aniston appeared in Ramen Noodle alongside Brooke Shields, and showed off her vocal ability with a rendition of Beatles classic Yellow Submarine.

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore also appeared in the evening of short plays, as well as Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber, Sam Rockwell and Julia Stiles.
