Cleveland Play House (CPH) will host its annual benefit, COPACABANA, on Saturday evening, June 1, 2019, in the Allen Theatre at Playhouse Square. The gala will include dinner and dancing, a live auction and an exciting theatrical presentation. CPH's annual benefit, two-time winner of Currents Magazine's Black Tie Award, promises to be another not-to-be-missed party.

Co-Chairs for the benefit are Nancy Hancock Griffith and Stacy L. Bauer. We are also excited that Christopher Kascsak, Design Studio Cleveland LLC, is our event designer for a sixth consecutive year.

KeyBank, Presenting Sponsor for COPACABANA, and Cleveland Play House are proud to announce the Centennial Star Award recipients for 2019: Luci Schey Spring and The Ralph and Luci Schey Foundation, who will be honored at the event.
