The Only Make Believe program debuted in October 1999 at Rusk Institute's Pediatric Unit, NYU Langone Medical Center. Dena Hammerstein established Only Make Believe in memory of her late husband James (son of Oscar Hammerstein), for his dedication to the theatre and her own passionate love for children in need. Since 1999 this organization has brought interactive theatre, performed by professional actors, to over 25,000 children and families in more than 50 hospitals free-of-charge in New York City and Washington, D.C.
