About this Event

You don't want to miss this one-of-a-kind event! Our annual gala has earned a reputation as New York's most entertaining and unique charity event of the season.

On Monday, November 9th at 7 PM, we celebrate our 27th Anniversary at the iconic Walter Kerr Theatre. Join us as we recognize those who inspire us with their dedication to philanthropy, while raising crucial funds to support our interactive theatre programming for children in need.

Our distinguished James Hammerstein Award Honorees are Grammy-winning artist Rob Thomas and philanthropist Marisol Thomas, recognizing their profound influence and steadfast commitment to service. We will also be honoring Hazel Estrin from Tribeca Prep School as our Clay Stefanki Award recipient.

We will also celebrate members of the OMB Circle of Honorees, a distinguished community of individuals who have been previously recognized for their commitment to the mission and impact on Only Make Believe. Among the distinguished members of the Circle who will be joining us at the Gala are two-time Tony Award-winning playwright and lyricist Joe DiPietro, Kimberley D. Harris (Executive Vice President of Comcast Corporation and General Counsel of NBCUniversal), and Adam Meshel (Head of Legal, Citi; General Counsel & Corporate Secretary, Citibank, N.A.).

The star-studded lineup includes appearances and performances from Emmy and Golden Globe winner Jim Parsons, supermodel & fashion icon Coco Rocha, Vogue Senior Editor Chloe Schama, Tony Award winner Ali Louis Bourzgui, Tony Award winner Lena Hall, Jess LeProtto (Schmigadoon!), Tony Award winner Bonnie Milligan, Kate Reinders (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series), and Nik Walker (Hamilton, Spamalot) - along with a special reunion performance from The Producers featuring two-time Tony Award winner Matthew Broderick and Brad Oscar!
