Epic Theatre Ensemble's 9th Annual Gala took place on March 1, 2010 at Twenty Four Fifth.
After cocktails, the evening kicked off with a spirited welcome from “3rd Rock from the Sun” star Kristen Johnston who introduced Epic and our honoree, James Calleri and Calleri casting. The evening continued with speeches and performances by Epic students and a surprise performance by Nilaja Sun. The Gala is our largest fundraising event of the year, and we deeply appreciate the support of all who attended and contributed.
