Special Events and Fundraisers

When you attend a benefit or other special event at Playhouse Square, 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 Playhouse Square.

Center Stage Benefit

Playhouse Square hosts one major fundraiser each year to support our innovative arts education programs. The event includes a cocktail reception, seated dinner on one of lobbies or stages, a VIP performance, and a dessert party with live entertainment and dancing.

Jump Back Ball

Hosted and planned by Partners, Playhouse Square’s young professional group (ages 21-40), Jump Back Ball has become the best annual party in Cleveland. This themed, creative black-tie event includes a VIP party with special entertainment, dinner & late night buffets, endless cocktails, a raffle & silent auction, live music and other interactive activities that take the benefit to the next level. All proceeds benefit Playhouse Square’s community engagement & education initiatives.
