Join us as we celebrate those who inspire us with their dedication to philanthropy and raise funds to support our interactive theatre programming in hospitals, care facilities, and schools with special education programs. We have appreciated the support of our virtual & hybrid galas over the past 2 years, and we are ecstatic to be BACK ON BROADWAY in person as Only Make Believe's annual gala has earned a reputation as New York’s most entertaining and unique charity event of the season!
