Philanthropy Party

Wednesday’s preview screening of NBC’s The Philanthropist with The Creative Coalition at the Landmark E Street Theatre (555 11th Street, NW) was followed by a reception with the cast and producers at Coco Sala (929 F St., NW). DC socialites, philanthropic in their own right, mingled with the likes of James Purefoy (famously Marc Antony in HBO’s ROME series), Peter Horton, and Jesse L. Martin as well as NBC Entertainment and Universal Studio’s Ben Silverman.
