RECAPPING CHAIRMANS’ DINNER, DONOR APPRECIATION NIGHT AND MORE!

A MESSAGE FROM MICHELLE Every day at Playhouse Square, our donors and volunteers take a starring role in making our mission a reality. We recently celebrated Donor Appreciation Week and RedCoat Thankapalooza – two of our favorite annual events. In this edition of Props!, we continue celebrating the ways your dedication brings our vision to life.

This past school year, our education programs reached community members of all ages. You helped support 46,163 tickets for field trip performances and weekly Dance for Parkinson’s Classes. Thanks

to you, four elementary schools began sustainable theater education programs through Disney Musicals in Schools, and the Dazzle Awards program has served more than 18,000 high school students to date.

On our stages, we are thrilled to present upcoming sensory-friendly performances including The Lion King and Ocean Blue. These performances provide a welcoming space for individuals with sensory needs featuring lower sound levels and lighting, designated calming areas, noise cancelling headphones and fidget toys.

to welcome the opening tours of Death Becomes Her and The Who’s Tommy.

To date, launching national Broadway tours at Playhouse Square has had an estimated economic impact of $120 million on our community.

Furthermore, with almost 40,000 season ticket holders, Cleveland is firmly on the map as a must-play city for touring Broadway.

From long-standing programs to new ventures, your generosity keeps Playhouse Square at the forefront of the performing arts, and we look forward to sharing more in the future.

With gratitude,

Your commitment ensures everyone can discover a love of the performing arts.

Looking forward to fall, we are thrilled

In May, Playhouse Square honored Broadway producers Matthew Rego, Michael Rego and Hank Unger with the Henkel Lewis Award at the annual Chairman’s Dinner. The award is Playhouse Square’s highest honor, recognizing individuals whose lifetime dedication to the performing arts has enriched our culture through visionary leadership, creative excellence and enduring impact.

The recipients and proud Cleveland natives are founders of The Araca Group, a Broadway production and

recipients and Senior Vice President of Programming, David Greene. The discussion included insights into Playhouse Square’s role as a producer of The Outsiders and the industry’s interest in Cleveland as an ideal city to open national tours.

The night came full circle with student performances from the award winners’ high school alma maters. Students from St. Ignatius High School, Western Reserve Academy and Bay High School performed numbers from Guys & Dolls, Urinetown and Anything Goes.

PLAYHOUSE SQUARE HONORS TERRY ADELMAN In June, Terry Adelman received the Falco Award at the President’s Dinner on the KeyBank State Theatre stage.

The Falco Award honors members of the Northeast Ohio community whose leadership, perseverance and dedication have contributed to the success of Playhouse Square.

As a dedicated Playhouse Square trustee and long-time supporter, Terry Adelman has demonstrated exceptional leadership and philanthropic commitment in advancing our mission. Since 1989, Terry has served on our Board of

Trustees and, during that time, she has provided guidance as a member of the Community Engagement and Education Committee.

Her enduring impact and forward thinking is exemplified by the annual Dance Showcase, presented by Terry and her husband Shelly. For more than a decade, Dance Showcase has celebrated the breadth and diversity of Northeast Ohio’s dance community while providing a free and accessible performing arts experience for audiences throughout the region.

PRESIDENT’S DINNER

STUDENTS LIGHT UP THE MIMI OHIO STAGE

The Disney Musicals in Schools program, presented by Dee & Jimmy Haslam, benefits elementary schools with a student poverty level of 50% or higher, building lasting performing arts programs and helping students develop skills to last a lifetime.

Each year, the culmination of the program takes place in March with the Student Share event where the students bring their talent to the Mimi Ohio Theatre stage. This March, the four schools performed numbers from The Jungle Book KIDS, Winnie the Pooh KIDS, and The Lion King KIDS and enjoyed cheers from educators and proud families.

Disney Musicals in Schools is transformational. For many students, this is the first opportunity to step into the spotlight and discover their voice. Aziz Ahmad, Principal of The Intergenerational School East, had this to say about his students in this year’s program: “The way that students develop... the way they change their mindset towards learning and engaging, it’s amazing to see how drastically they develop in such a short time.”

Students are given the chance to thrive and learn alongside their dedicated teachers and professional artists. Their experiences today are also setting the stage for future students in their schools to discover the arts.

HISTORY COMES TO LIFE AND INSPIRES STUDENTS TO DREAM BIGGER

One trip to Playhouse Square can spark a lifelong passion for learning, inspiring students to imagine bright futures.

This past school year, thousands of students experienced that possibility through Sankofa: An Epic Adventure, an original production developed

by Playhouse Square’s Education Department in collaboration with Karamu House and the Cleveland Public Library. Written by awardwinning Cleveland playwright Lisa Langford and directed by Playhouse Square’s Ananias Dixon, the production brought Black history to life through live music, dance and storytelling in this time-traveling adventure.

The word sankofa comes from the Akan people of Ghana and means “to go back and get it.” In the play, five teens are transported through key moments in Black history, from the era of Mansa Musa in Africa to the birth of Hip Hop in the Bronx. Together, they learn about the past while discovering its connection to their own lives and futures.

For Playhouse Square Education Committee member Patsy Kouvas,

seeing the production’s impact firsthand was unforgettable. She recalled:

stage who looks like them and could go home that night and lay in bed and say, ‘I could go to Stanford too.’”

“The first show that I attended, when the school buses arrived, you heard the chatter, you heard the excitement.

They were so excited to walk into the theater. Then once they took their seats... complete silence.”

That spark of possibility is at the heart of Playhouse Square’s education programming. Through productions like Sankofa, students encounter stories, role models and experiences that expand their understanding of what is possible.

Patsy also witnessed the creative process behind the scenes, attending rehearsals and watching the production come together.

“These are local young people. I was amazed at that,” Patsy said. “We all think that when you see a play, actors are coming from all over, but this talent is right here in Cleveland.”

Beyond the outstanding performances with local talent, Sankofa resonated deeply with students. One scene, in particular, stood out.

“One of the most memorable parts was when Dreama [one of the main characters] talked about what college she had recently been accepted to,” Patsy shared. “To hear the cheers in the audience, I was just so happy.

They can relate to someone on the

Thanks to donors like you, students from across Northeast Ohio can experience the power of live theater, discover new perspectives and leave Playhouse Square inspired to dream bigger.
