"From her celebrated work on Seinfeld to her record-setting run on Veep, Julia Louis-Dreyfus is one of the great performers of all time and having her join Stephen Colbert onstage promises to be absolutely brilliant," said Montclair Film Executive Director Tom Hall. "This event is our biggest night of the year and provides our non-profit organization with vital support that allows us to deliver world class film, media literacy, and education programs to our patrons and students. We're are incredibly grateful to Stephen, Julia, and our friends at NJPAC for their generosity in making this event possible. It is going to be an unforgettable evening."

"NJPAC has welcomed Presidents Clinton and Obama to Prudential Hall, and we're thrilled to now add 'President Meyer' to our list of visiting heads of state," said John Schreiber, President and CEO of NJPAC. "All joking aside, Julia Louis-Dreyfus is one of the premier actresses of our era. I can't wait to see what happens when she joins forces with her fellow Second City alum Stephen Colbert! Montclair Film's annual fundraisers with Stephen and his friends have become among the most eagerly anticipated events of the Arts Center's season, and this year's may be the most entertaining yet."
