The stars of the FOX series Glee including Matthew Morrison, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Chris Colfer and Jane Lynch, will take part in a panel discussion about the new television program July 18 at the Directors Guild of America.

The discussion — which is part of Outfest 2009, the 27th Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Film Festival — will be preceded by a never-before-broadcast episode of Glee at 1:30 PM.

Also set for the question-and-answer session are Glee co-creator and writer Ian Brennan and executive producer Dante Di Loreto.

Glee according to press notes, “follows an optimistic teacher who – against all odds and the wishes of his wife – attempts to restore his school’s glee club to its former glory, while helping a group of aspiring underdogs realize their true star potential.” Glee makes its official premiere Sept. 16 at 9 PM ET on FOX.
