Featured performers include the master of ceremonies, Barrymore Award-winning actor Scott Greer, 1812 Productions' Producing Artistic Director Jennifer Childs, long-time 1812 collaborator Tony Braithwaite, and audience favorites Dave Jadico, Lexi Thammavong and Jackie Soro, with additional cast members to be announced.

Glenn Gundersen, President of 1812 Productions' Board of Directors, says, "There may be schmancier galas in Philadelphia, but none is likely to be as much fun as 1812's Eventa du Schmancy. It's an evening true to 1812's signature style-utterly original, whimsical, and smart-and a fitting salute to 1812's hugely successful return to live theatre. Every year, our patrons and supporters look forward to this joyful gathering, and we can't wait to celebrate with them at Cherry Street Pier."

The evening will begin at 6:30pm with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres on Cherry Street Pier, followed by dinner from Catering by Design and The Bad Song Cabaret with a live auction and deluxe basket raffles All proceeds benefit 1812 Productions.

1812 Productions' General Manager, Jaime Konowal, adds, "Following our first season back together in person, we are very fortunate to have such a dedicated and ever-expanding network of individuals and foundations who support the work we do and who believe as strongly as we do that the world needs more comedy. As we look ahead to our 2023-2024 season, Eventa du Schmancy gives us a great opportunity to raise a glass to all of the patrons whose support means so much to us year after year."
