Partners Founding Members

We extend a special thank you to the Partners founding members – Jeff Cristal, Larry Hatch, John Marcus, Peter Rubin, Sara Stashower, Kurt Weaver, Neil Weinberger, Mark Weisman, and Theo Wolf – for their forward thinking, leadership, and dedication to Playhouse Square. In the late 1980s, the original nine Partners were recruited by Larry Wilker, president of Playhouse Square at the time, to “create the future.” After two years of research and planning, Playhouse Square Partners was created and in 1992 the first annual Jump Back Ball was celebrated on Leap Day in the KeyBank State Theatre. In 2016, these nine founding Partners were awarded the Playhouse Square President’s Award (now named the Falco Award), which recognizes members of the northeast Ohio community whose leadership, perseverance and dedication have contributed to the success of Playhouse Square. And because of their vision (and irreverent love of jello shots), Partners has remained one of the longest-running young professionals organizations in Cleveland. More than 2,500 members have raised over $4.7 million for Playhouse Square over the past 30 years.
