As an avid theater lover, Jude Telishak performed in many shows throughout his childhood. His mom noted his love of theater and started taking him to various theater performances, culminating in a subscription to the KeyBank Broadway Series when he turned 16. More than 26  years later, Jude and his mom still attend the Sunday matinee shows. He’s excited to be working at Playhouse Square and is looking forward to helping our guests have a wonderful time at the theater.

Favorite Playhouse Square Memory: My favorite memory is literally the experience of attending shows in the series with my mom.  It’s a day full of traditions from arriving on time for the Buzz to stopping for a hot pretzel that we split before the show begins. I am so grateful for all of the memories with my mom that I have in this space.
