Ovation Gala Event Photos
New Jersey Theatre Alliance celebrated their 30th Anniversary at the October 27 Ovation Gala at the Pleasantdale Chateau in West Orange. The event kicked off the New Jersey Theatre Alliance’s anniversary year by honoring valued community and corporate supporters Carolyn J. Ferolito and McCarter & English LLP – and the impact of the Alliance’s membership – with an elegant party, live auction, and a cabaret tribute to New Jersey’s own Tony Award-winning composer Jerry Herman.
