Celebrity Series is excited to celebrate the power of the performing arts to unite, delight, and inspire our communities, the future of live performance, and our contributions to the Greater Boston cultural experience with guests at our annual SHINE! Gala. We welcome you to join us for this special evening!

Guests will share in cocktail hour, dinner by The Catered Affair, artist performances and surprises, and an artist-to-guest interactive dance party. Connect with folks who love, are curious about, support, and/or express themselves through the performing arts!

This is a Black Tie event. Dress to impress, and don’t forget your dancing shoes!
