DEAR FRIENDS

Gina Vernaci

s we commemorate the season, we pause to reflect on our many blessings. Seeing all of you return to the theater, or perhaps visit for the first time, is at the very top of our list. Also topping our list is Wicked’s return to Cleveland at this magical time of year. What a treat to have Broadway’s favorite witches grace our stages once again! I am grateful to producer David Stone, who I have known and worked with for more than 30 years, for bringing this beloved show back to Cleveland at such an important time for our industry and our city. We know many of you are enjoying Wicked as part of a holiday celebration with family and friends, a gift that will last a lifetime. Long after sweets are eaten, batteries wear out and sweaters no longer fit, memories made at the theater remain. Thank you for spending part of your holiday season with us. Liveliness and joy permeate Playhouse Square as holiday concerts and our resident companies — with offerings both new and classic — take to other stages throughout the complex, bringing back the sights and sounds we sorely missed this time last year. We are grateful to see the Playhouse Square District bustle with activity as The Lumen approaches full occupancy and workers return to their offices. Our hotel, the Crowne Plaza Cleveland, is hosting a record number of weddings, in addition to an influx of business and leisure travelers. Nearly every district restaurant that was open prior to the start of COVID-19 has resumed operation and stands ready to serve you. Technology is keeping us connected with classrooms that are not yet able to take field trips to the theater. Our Education Department has spent the fall delivering virtual content across the region, reaching 50,000 students with outstanding performances complemented by video workshops created to connect the performing arts to school curriculum. What makes all of the work that we do possible — from the ability to present a variety of performances and advance arts education to sustaining a thriving downtown district — is the generosity of those who demonstrate their belief in our not-for-profit mission by making a donation. We appreciate every individual, corporation and foundation who supports us. Now, prepare to nestle into your seats and let the wonder of live performance surround you as we journey to Oz to see just what happened before Dorothy dropped in! On behalf of our staff and Board of Trustees, I wish all of you peace and happiness this holiday season, and health and prosperity in the New Year.

Joyfully yours,

Gina Vernaci President & CEO, Playhouse Square

SPOTLIGHT ON News

LOVE TO LIFT US UP IN APRIL Based on the classic film starring Richard Gere and Debra Winger, An Officer and a Gentleman will visit Playhouse Square on April 22-24, 2022. The new musical was developed in part during a quarantined workshop on location in Cleveland at Playhouse Square with tremendous support from University Hospitals, the Cleveland Clinic, and the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Tickets for An Officer and a Gentleman are on pre-sale now for Donors and Season Ticket Holders and will go on sale for the general public on January 5.

LAST CALL FOR SEASON TICKETS Time is running out to secure your season tickets for the remainder of the KeyBank Broadway Series. Becoming a Season Ticket Holder guarantees you the best Broadway in CLE experience, from free ticket exchanges and Swap-AShow® opportunities to discounted parking and exclusive pre-sales on many upcoming shows. The KeyBank Broadway series picks up again in March with Pretty Woman: The Musical, followed by To Kill a Mockingbird, Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations and Disney’s Frozen. Visit playhousesquare.org/ broadway or call 216-6408800 and become a Season Ticket Holder today!

NEW TICKETS FOR SUPERSTAR AND MY FAIR LADY The remaining two shows of the 2019-2020 KeyBank Broadway season will finally play to Cleveland audiences after being rescheduled in the spring of 2020 due to the pandemic. The 50th Anniversary tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Jesus Christ Superstar will be here February 2-20, 2022, followed by The Lincoln Center Theater Production of Lerner & Loewe’s My Fair Lady June 7-26, 2022. New tickets will be mailed next month to anyone who had tickets to either or both shows for the original dates back in 2020. Seats are still available for both productions at playhousesquare. org or by calling 216-241-6000.

A MORE COMFORTABLE KEYBANK STATE THEATRE Just prior to the COVID-19 shutdown, we completed some renovations to the KeyBank State Theatre. New seats, identical to those just installed in the Connor Palace, replaced seating from the theater’s 1984 renovation. On your way in, you may have noticed the friendlier and more flexible box office in the lobby. And backstage, performers are enjoying newly upgraded dressing rooms and green room space. All of these renovations were made possible by funds raised through the Advancing the Legacy Campaign completed prior to the start of the pandemic.

SPOTLIGHT ON The District

GO GREEN IN OUR DISTRICT

he Playhouse Square District is the perfect place to grab a bite before the show. If you’re looking for something plant-based, check out a few of our favorite vegan and vegetarian options below. Sung’s House is a must for plant-based eating in the District. For sushi lovers, you can try the veggie roll and enjoy it with some vegan starters including: edamame, house salad, wakame and cucumber salad, or try the tofu teriyaki and yaki udon. Hofbräuhaus Cleveland is the perfect place to indulge in traditional German fare with a vegan twist. They have vegan bratwurst made with vegetable proteins, and vegan pierogi. Enjoy the giant freshly baked pretzels (which are also vegan!), grab a liter, dance on the tables and immerse yourself in German traditions. In need of a sweet treat before the show? Corbo’s Bakery offers different vegan options that are sure to satisfy that craving including limoncello gelato, lemon ice by the quart, vegan lattes and cappuccinos.

MAKING MEMORIES, INSPIRING PERFORMANCE NOT ALL PLAYHOUSE SQUARE “STARS” ARE ON STAGE! The valuable group of Playhouse Square volunteers, known as the “RedCoats,” because of their red blazers, are comprised of 2,000 men and women of all ages and backgrounds, all of whom share a passion for the theater and a desire to give back to the community. RedCoats believe so strongly in what Playhouse Square contributes to our community that they are willing to pledge their time and talents to every facet of Playhouse Square. Most volunteer at the 1,000+ performances we host each year — but many are also behind the scenes. What do RedCoats receive in return? They: …make new friends …make a contribution to the arts …feel appreciated …have fun as a valued member of the Playhouse Square “family” RedCoats must be able to make weekly commitments to volunteer 4 to 5 hours per shift. Matinee show crews may be scheduled anytime between 9 a.m. –5 p.m. Evening crews between 5:30 –11 p.m. Volunteers pick the best day and time to fit their schedule. We are always looking for new volunteers to join the team! Playhouse Square expects the same high standards of professionalism from its volunteers as it does from its full-time staff members. More information on becoming a RedCoat is available at playhousesquare.org/volunteer.

PLAYHOUSE SQUARE A Phoenix from the Ashes In 1964, the Mimi Ohio Theatre lobby and auditorium were destroyed by fire. When the fledgling Playhouse Square organization restored the spaces in 1982, funding and time constraints made it possible only for the auditorium to be fully restored. Thanks to a gift from the George Gund Foundation, the lobby was re-created in its original splendor in 2016. You can watch a documentary about the project, “Restoring the Legacy,” on Playhouse Square’s YouTube channel.

Re-Creating History We call the completed Mimi Ohio Theatre George Gund Foundation Lobby project a “re-creation” rather than a restoration. Why? There was nothing left to restore after a 1964 fire destroyed the space. To reproduce the lobby’s original 1921 splendor, architects, restoration specialists and Playhouse Square staff conducted exhaustive research of the original drawings by architect Thomas Lamb, photo archives and a few remaining bits of ornamental plaster detail to gain a thorough understanding of the space and inform the plans for re-creating the lobby.

Broadway to Buildings Where do the arts and real estate go hand-inhand? At Playhouse Square, of course! As the theaters began to be restored in the early 1980s, it was thought that developers would step in to build and open businesses around them. When that didn’t happen, Playhouse Square began to steward development of the surrounding neighborhood. In 1999, Playhouse Square became the first performing arts center with a real estate services division, which manages the one million square feet of property owned by the organization and another 1.5 million square feet outside the theater district. Other performing arts centers have since looked to our expertise as a model.

YPs Take the Lead

Best known as the masterminds behind the annual Jump Back Ball benefit, Playhouse Square’s young professionals group – Partners – was formed in 1991. Since then, hundreds of young

History

professionals engage with Playhouse Square each year to build leadership skills, raise funds and volunteer in support of our not-for-profit mission, enjoy shows together, network and have fun!

Keeping Up the KeyBank State Theatre First restored more than 30 years ago, the KeyBank State Theatre was repainted from the street to the proscenium in 2015. The new, cohesive color palette showcases the beauty and craftsmanship of the nearly 100-year-old theater. It took 25 painters 12,500 hours and 595 gallons of paint in 15 different colors to complete the project, which also included 6000 sheets of new metal leafing in the auditorium dome and the application of a historically accurate wall-covering design. While the theater was dark, its lighting fixtures and restrooms received major upgrades.

What’s in a Logo? The Playhouse Square logo we use today – a tilted burgundy square with a capital P in its center – was introduced in 2008 to capture the enduring spirit of entertainment and excitement. Each of the logo’s graphic elements has meaning: the exclamation point with a star in the “P” symbolizes excitement and innovation; the swirl in the “P” represents creativity and forward motion; the tilted square symbolizes Playhouse Square as a destination; and the burgundy color gives nod to the color scheme of our historic theaters.

Going Green While red is the color most often associated with theaters, Playhouse Square is making efforts to go “green.” You will find receptacles for recycling paper, plastic and cans, along with those designated specifically for the program you’re currently reading, throughout the complex. Lighting fixtures are being switched to LED for increased energy efficiency. And the Playhouse Square administrative office is making strides towards going paperless.

Patterns in Plaster As you walk through the theaters, you may notice various patterns within the plaster decoration. Common are dentil, lamb tongue, rope and

rosettes. Other patterns you may see have been associated with certain meanings since they were first used hundreds or even thousands of years ago, such as the acanthus leaf (immortality), egg and dart (life and death), and the palm leaf, first used in ancient Egypt as a reference to the Nile River. In the KeyBank State Theatre, if you look closely and carefully, you can find ox skulls, which were believed to offer protection from natural elements. And throughout the theaters, you will find griffins, mythical creatures thought of as guardians.

The GE Chandelier Officially the world’s largest outdoor chandelier, the 20-foot tall GE Chandelier is adorned with 4200 crystals. To find out how it was made, visit the Playhouse Square YouTube channel.

A Change in History?

The KeyBank State Theatre Murals The four murals on the walls of the KeyBank State Theatre lobby were painted by American Modernist James Daugherty (1890-1974), whose work hangs in the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum and the Smithsonian. One of the murals, The Spirit of Cinema, was featured on the cover of Life magazine on February 20, 1970. It was that national attention that became the convincing argument to save the venue from the wrecking ball. Destruction of the State would also have meant the loss of the original historic Daugherty murals, since they are painted directly on the walls. Today they are the only Daugherty works which remain at the original site where they were painted.

One of many fascinating items to be found in the book Playhouse Square: An Entertaining History deals with the infamous John Wilkes Booth. Booth performed locally at the old Academy of Music, which was one of the first drama schools in the

country and was located at 1371 W. 6th Street. It was at that Cleveland Academy where he would play his last role prior to performing at Washington D.C.’s Ford Theatre where he would assassinate President Lincoln. (Might history have been changed if the Academy had held over Booth’s play for an extended run?)
