On the evening of April 28th, 2024, Center Theatre Group celebrated the power of the performing arts with a landmark event, CTG: The Gala 2024, in Downtown Los Angeles. With the support of our community, we raised nearly $1.4 million for CTG’s shows and programs that illuminate new perspectives, open doors for artistic and career growth, and provide inspiration and connection for all Angelenos.

The night was a collective celebration, spearheaded by Gala Chair Jana Bezdek and Co-Chairs Amy Forbes, Noah Francis, and Bonnie Vitti. We are so grateful for their dedication, as well for the support of our honorary dancers Rory Macleod and Jackson Fisch. Emmy® Winner and Academy Award® Nominee Melissa McCarthy joined us at the Taper to introduce Sir Matthew Bourne and honor his profound impact on contemporary theatre.

Then, before guests danced under the stars with DJ Masha Mar on Jerry Moss Plaza, Artistic Director Snehal Desai announced his inaugural season: One CTG. One LA.

“I want us to have more pride and ownership in writing the story of our great city,” Desai said to the crowd. “Whether you work in Hollywood, in tech, for a bank or law firm, in education, or government—we all play a part. So, what comes next? The hard work of writing our next chapter. And we do that together. That is what next season is about here at Center Theatre Group. I hope you will join us.”

CTG: The Gala 2024 and the announcement of the 2024/25 Season are major milestones on an exciting road ahead. None of this would be possible without you. The support from our audience and donor community has been an inspiration and a reminder that there is only one City of Angels and only one Center Theatre Group.
