Gloria Estefan and Emily Estefan to Join Alliance Theatre's BLOOM: A NEW EVENT

Alliance Theatre will present its new gala, Alliance in Bloom: A New Event, an immersive evening of celebration and philanthropy benefiting the theater’s youth and education programming.  The event will honor two remarkable supporters of the arts: Kenny Blank, Executive Director of the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival and Chair of the Alliance’s Imagine Endowment Campaign to fund sustainable performances for youth audiences; and The Home Depot Foundation, recognized for its transformational support of community-building and arts access through its Veterans ticket program.  The Alliance in Bloom event is co-chaired by Lila Hertz and Jocelyn Hunter. 

Adding even more star power to the evening, the Alliance will welcome Grammy Award-winning music icon Gloria Estefan and her daughter, singer-songwriter Emily Estefan, as the evening’s special guests.  The mother/daughter team are the composers of the Alliance’s world premiere musical, BASURA – an inspiring true story about Paraguay’s Recycled Orchestra, proving that art can arise anywhere and change everything. 

Alliance in Bloom: A New Event will take place on Friday, May 8, 2026, at Alliance Theatre.  The evening will begin with a cocktail reception in the newly opened Goizueta Stage for Youth & Families – a state-of-the-art performance space designed and dedicated to serving young people with artistic programming developed specifically for them.  The gala will also include a seated dinner in the Azadi Galleria, live entertainment, an auction, and unforgettable surprises that will make this event truly unique.
