Chaired by RoAnn Costin and Laura and Mike Dreese, the evening delivered a megawatt blast from the past at the Boston Park Plaza Castle when performers Bryan Cranston, Cherry Jones, and Zachary Quinto made video appearances alongside Governor Deval Patrick. Gund was further celebrated with live music by Norm Lewis, one of the actors from The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess. Kate Chertavian led a rousing live auction that helped raise more than $675,000 for the theater. The cast of the A.R.T.'s world premiere musical Witness Uganda performed at the gala.
