Special Events and Fundraisers

When you attend a benefit or other special event at PlayhouseSquare, you’re sure to enjoy an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s dining on stage, witnessing a Broadway blockbuster from the best seats in the house and partying with the cast after the show; mixing and mingling at our annual Jump Back Ball; or hitting the links at our golf outing, you’ll have a fantastic time and help to support the not-for-profit mission of PlayhouseSquare.

Opening Night Benefit

PlayhouseSquare hosts one major opening night celebration each year in conjunction with a blockbuster Broadway series performance. The event includes a cocktail reception, seated dinner on one of lobbies or stages, VIP performance seating, and a dessert party with the cast, live entertainment and dancing. Proceeds benefit the Community Engagement & Education programs at PlayhouseSquare.

Hosted and planned by Partners, PlayhouseSquare’s young professional donor group, Jump Back Ball has become the best annual party in Cleveland. This themed, creative black-tie event includes a VIP party with special entertainment, a buffet dinner, raffle & silent auction, and other interactive activities that take the benefit to the next level. All proceeds benefit the non-for-profit mission of PlayhouseSquare.
