This year’s Gala is honoring Ilona Martin for her lifetime of support and advocacy of the Laguna Playhouse in Orange County.

Our 2023 Gala is supporting the growth of our mainstage and youth performances while extending our educational and outreach programs to the local community. The Playhouse hosts acclaimed Conservatory and Youth Theatre programs, which teaches students foundational creative and development skills, including putting on fully produced theatrical programs. These programs help students develop skills that will continue to serve them in any future career or path they take. This Gala will help us further our mission of to enrich lives through the magic of live theatre, to provide educational opportunities for children and adults, and to create experiences that stimulate cultural and social interaction and inspire our community. 

We are very fortunate to be having out 101st Gala on April 1, 2023 at the Festival of Arts and are expecting 200 people to attend. We plan to acknowledge those that donate to our silent auction in the program and on our website.
