We came up with 30 awesome reasons to join Playhouse Square’s young professionals group, Partners, during our 30th year…but why join now? Despite current circumstances, Partners is still an active group. Over the last 6 months, we’ve held virtual events ranging from themed happy hours to a scavenger hunt, giving you the opportunity to network and meet new friends in a safe, socially distanced way.
Your membership also supports Playhouse Square in a time of financial need. Perhaps you’ve enjoyed performances and created priceless memories with loved ones in our historic theaters. Now, we need you to be there for us, and when our extended intermission is over, we can’t wait to welcome you back with all of the benefits below:
-
Support community outreach programs by raising funds and volunteering for Playhouse Square’s arts education initiatives.
-
Build lasting friendships and connections with other Partners members.
