The Center Stage Benifit is not only a celebration of the arts but also a powerful opportunty to support Playhouse Square's new neurological intitiatives.  These intitiatives are at the heart of our commitment to enriching lives through the transformative poser of music and dance.  By providing specialized programming for individuals facing neurological challenges such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and dementia, we strive to bring joy, comfort and connection to those who need it most.
