Sat 9/10
Tonight is a night when any devoted patron of the arts in greater Cleveland should have a benefit penciled in their calendar, because several organizations are holding their main fundraiser of the year.
It’s the night of Cleveland Public Theatre’s 16th annual Pandemonium benefit, a gala fundraiser that features performances of all types taking place all over the CPT campus. Guests wend their way through the various spaces catching theater, dance, music, visual and performance art in unexpected nooks, showing off the range of talent and creativity Cleveland possesses. They’ll be fueled by complimentary drinks and local food all night long as well. It runs from 7-pm-midnight. Tickets are $150.
