DEAR FRIENDS
L
Gina Vernaci
ast month, we welcomed the return of Jesus Christ Superstar. What a wonderful feeling to share that long-awaited performance with our audiences. Now, we look forward to even more excitement ahead with Pretty Woman: The Musical on stage and To Kill a Mockingbird, My Fair Lady, Ain’t Too Proud and Disney’s Frozen still to come, along with the recently announced run of Waitress in the intimate Hanna Theatre. BWY in CLE is most assuredly back and thriving! Next month, we announce the lineup for the next KeyBank Broadway Series and I can promise that if you are not already a season ticket holder, you will want to become one. Later this month, the Cleveland International Film Festival debuts here in its new home. We cannot wait for audiences to experience the world-class CIFF in our beautiful theaters. And in June, the joyful Tri-C JazzFest returns to Playhouse Square. With so much to look forward to, I am filled with hope for the future. Making it all possible is our steadfast Board of Trustees, dedicated team of staff and volunteers, intrepid resident companies, loyal donors and marketing partners and, of course, you - our enthusiastic audiences. Thank you to each and every one of you. Save the date of April 12 when you can tune into our KeyBank Broadway Series announcement and see what we have planned for you.
Sincerely,
Gina Vernaci President & CEO, Playhouse Square
