HOLY HANNA!
Great Lakes Theater Festival Opens New Home 
At The Hanna Theatre With A Night of Surprises
GLTF's Grand Opening Gala is slated for September 20, 2008.

      

            (CLEVELAND, OHIO) - Great Lakes Theater Festival (GLTF) will
celebrate the opening of its new home in the re-imagined Hanna Theatre
at PlayhouseSquare with Holy Hanna! A Night of Surprises, a Grand
Opening Gala presented with generous support from National City, on
September 20, 2008. 

 

            Holy Hanna! A Night of Surprises, an exciting evening filled
with unique surprises around every corner, will commence with cocktails
and hors d'oeuvres at 6:00 p.m. within the Festival's new home at the
Hanna Theatre.  The event will continue on the Hanna Theatre's newly
configured thrust stage with a theatrical presentation featuring a
performance by a surprise international artist that will make his
Northeast Ohio debut.  Revelers will complete their evening by enjoying
a gourmet dinner and dessert from Marigold Catering followed by dancing
under a starry sky on East 14th Street to the melodies of Dennis Samson
and the Nightbreeze Band.

 

            GLTF's Benefit Chair Robyn Barrie lauded the event saying
"Holy Hanna! will be the party of the year!  It's the perfect way to
open our new home.  If you've never been to a Great Lakes benefit
before, this is certainly the year to join us."

 

            The result of a partnership between Great Lakes Theater
Festival and PlayhouseSquare, the new Hanna Theatre boasts an intimate
550-seat thrust stage configuration, seven different seating experiences
and a revolutionary Great Room design concept.  Developed by Westlake
Reed Leskosky, one of the nation's leading architectural firms, the new
Hanna is a theater experience unique to the region.  

 

            Proceeds from Holy Hanna! A Night of Surprises will benefit
GLTF's newly created Endowment Fund, which will support Festival
operations, including the company's renowned educational program.  GLTF
programming serves 85,000 adults and students annually. 

 

            Individual tickets for Holy Hanna! A Night of Surprises
start at $300.  Corporate tables for the event are $5,000 and $10,000.
