PHAMALY presents its 2011 Circle of Stars Gala featuring comedian Josh Blue (winner of TV’s Last Comic Standing, Season 4). This one-night-only event will also feature a dazzling selection of musical performances by PHAMALY company members, including teasers of this summer’s musical, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. The theme of this year’s celebratory fundraiser is “Come Together!: a 60’s theme Gala” (a nod to the era of the original Tony-award winning musical that PHAMALY will be performing this summer). Guests have the option of dressing up in their own distinct version of the 1960’s. The evening will be rounded out with delicious fine food catered by Occasions by Sandy, libations, and silent and live auctions. All proceeds from the event benefit PHAMALY.
