We believe it’s important for children to experience the performing arts. We created the Pals program as a way for children (ages 4-12) and their loved ones to form a special connection with PlayhouseSquare. At the same time, they learn about the importance of giving back to their community.

Share your love of the performing arts with the children in your life through Pals. In gratitude for your tax-deductible donation, you and your children will have access to priority ticketing and discounts for select family performances and special pre- and post-show events. Your children will receive a t-shirt, quarterly newsletter, keepsake souvenir and a VIK (Very Important Kid) access card.

Pals memberships make great gifts. Give the special children in your life a membership today.
