Writers Theatre is thrilled to return to the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago for our 2025 WordPlay Gala on Saturday, April 26, 2025.
This pivotal event is key to supporting our mission, contributing to a quarter of our annual fundraising goal. It’s a chance to celebrate our artistic work and honor you—the generous supporters who make it all possible.
The theme, "Be Bold. Be Here." reflects our commitment to bold, boundary-pushing performances. At Writers Theatre, we showcase exceptional talent you won’t find elsewhere. We’re also proud to present the Spirit of Writers Theatre Award to BMO, whose mission to "Boldly Grow the Good in business and life" aligns with our vision of bold creativity and impact.
We hope you will join us for this not-to-be-missed event!
