Steppenwolf Theatre Company to Host Steppenwolf Gala 2025 in May
This year’s Gala takes place on Saturday, May 10, 2025 at 6 pm at Steppenwolf Theatre Company.
Steppenwolf Theatre Company will host Steppenwolf Gala 2025, an evening kicking off the theater’s 50th Anniversary celebration. This year’s Gala takes place on Saturday, May 10, 2025 at 6 pm at Steppenwolf Theatre Company.
Join Steppenwolf’s famed artists alongside civic and business leaders at the company’s stunning expanded campus for a culinary adventure with food stations and curated cocktails, dancing, a one-night-only program honoring the theatre’s legacy and special guest performances. Keep the celebration going with a live auction that features once-in-a-lifetime experiences with our artists and an after-hours lounge. Attire is fun, formidably fabulous.
Steppenwolf’s Gala generates vital funding to provide an artistic home for our Ensemble, bring bold and innovative theatrical experiences to the stage, and create educational programs that reach thousands of teens throughout the Chicago region.
Steppenwolf Executive Director E. Brooke Flanagan comments, “The 2025/26 season will mark Steppenwolf’s 50th Anniversary, and this year’s Gala will serve as the launch party for this milestone event. To elevate the celebration, we are converting our expanded Halsted Street campus into a dazzling event space and have an epic party planned to kick-off our next year of celebrations. Funds raised will fuel our work on stage, investment in new plays and our expansive partnership with Chicago schools, including acclaimed teen-centered programs.”
Single tickets starting at $1,500 and sponsorships for 2025 Gala are currently available online here or by contacting Steppenwolf’s Development Department at (312) 654-5690 or specialevents@steppenwolf.org.
