“The Power of Three”
Donor Recognition

The Power of Three: The Allen Theatre Project, was the theme of a capital campaign undertaken in partnership between Playhouse Square, Cleveland Play House and Cleveland State University. The campaign raised $32 million with the following goals: to renovate the Allen Theatre; design and construct two new theaters – the Outcalt Theatre and The Helen theatre; and design and construct a new, enclosed walkway from the existing Playhouse Square garage to the theaters.

Our firm designed the donor recognition wall highlighting 79 donors that gave $25,000+ to the campaign. Featured in alphabetical order, donors are distinguished by level using different metallic laminates and varying type sizes. The three organizations’ logos are throughout the wall.
