ABOUT THE EVENT

Our 22nd Annual Gala occurred on Monday, October 4, 2021 at 7pm!  Hosted by two-time Tony Award Nominee and OMB Board Member, Brad Oscar (Mrs. Doubtfire), this was our first hybrid event; a combination of virtual and in-person entertainment with live performances by Tony Award Winner, Beth Leavel (The Prom, The Devil Wears Prada) and Broadway favorite, Kathryn Allison (Wicked, Company) with the presentation of the inaugural Clay Stefanki Award, sponsored by Andy Roddick and Brooklyn Decker!

The Only Make Believe Gala has earned a reputation as New York’s most entertaining and unique charity event of the season. The hybrid format allows everyone who is inspired by our mission to be a part of this fundraising event. Your support will ensure we can continue to bring interactive theatre to the children we serve in hospitals, care facilities, and special education programs.

This evening was broadcast Live from the New York City rooftop venue, Gallow Green.
