2023 Gala Details

The evening will start with a special cocktail reception and dinner on our tented Omi's Pavilion. Guests will then join us in our Roberts Mainstage Theatre for the opening night of The World Goes 'Round, a co-production between ArtsCentric, Everyman Theatre, and Olney Theatre Center. Kevin McAllister directs this tribute to the legacy and careers of John Kander and Fred Ebb. The show explores their overriding faith in humans to persevere through good times and bad, and includes iconic songs from Chicago, Cabaret, Zobra, Kiss of the Spider Woman, and many more!

Thank you to our current Gala Sponsors. If you would like to join them and us for this momentous occasion, you can sign up as a Gala Sponsor here. Individual tickets to the Gala will go on sale soon.
