Cleveland Play House to Host 100th Season Benefit in June

An evening of grandeur, mystery and awe-inspiring entertainment awaits the guests of Cleveland Play House's 100th Season Benefit, Cirque du Centennial. CPH, Centennial Season Sponsor KeyBank, Honorary Chair Beth Mooney and Co-Chairs Char Fowler and Ryan Cross have unmasked their talents in order to create an unforgettable evening in the Allen Theatre. This elegant Masquerade Ball will take place June 4th and will also serve as a final farewell to CPH's landmark 100th Season. The Allen Theatre lobbies will be swarming with masked men and women in their finest attire, as feats of strength and grace are performed before their very eyes. The evening will include cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, and performances by Ray Shell, Bobby Conte Thornton, and the cast of Steel Magnolias. Those in attendance will also enjoy a live auction and a sit-down dinner prepared by Driftwood Catering. The evening will conclude with dancing accompanied by music courtesy of the K-Street Band. Individual ticket prices begin at $300 each.

All proceeds from Cirque du Centennial will support CPH's suite of nine cutting edge theatre education programs, which provide unique offerings and life-altering opportunities to at-risk students and students with varying needs within the Cleveland Schools and around Northeast Ohio.
