Playhouse Square is a unique and beautiful destination, but the impact of our mission goes beyond the theater doors. The performing arts helps bring people together in the spirit of collaboration and unity. The arts build better communities, connecting people together in unique ways. The arts also challenge people to see the world in new ways and provide a safe space for new conversations. Leading Ladies is a group for those who wish to engage at Playhouse Square with other women who love and support the arts.  

Members are invited to four exclusive events throughout the year, such as pre-show cocktail receptions, special guest speaker luncheons, and behind-the-scenes experiences. In addition, opportunities to volunteer on a special project or program will occasionally be offered for those who are looking to become more involved. Members will receive special recognition and the latest Playhouse Square news and updates.

Membership is open to everyone and enrollment is open year round. An annual membership is $250, which includes a $100 tax deductible donation to support Playhouse Square.
