CTG: The Gala 2024
ABOUT
A one-night-only performance. World-renowned honorees. An unforgettable evening with the power of live theatre at the center of it all.
CTG: The Gala 2024 will honor Director/Choreographer Sir Matthew Bourne. Over the course of our 27-year partnership, CTG has presented nine of Matthew’s New Adventures productions. Emmy® Winner and Academy Award® Nominee Melissa McCarthy will be joining us as a presenter to honor Bourne.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. will also be honored as our philanthropic partner. Their commitment to and generous support of the performing arts and access programs has been instrumental in advancing CTG's mission and core values since 2008.
Tony Award winner Lea Salonga, recently on the West End in Old Friends directed by Bourne, will be the evening’s headlining performer. Performances will also include an excerpt from Bourne’s groundbreaking Swan Lake by New Adventures stars Jackson Fisch and Rory Macleod.
Biographies for the honoree and headliner are located in the Credits section below.

The evening will begin with cocktails and dinner in Eva & Marc Stern Grand Hall in the historic Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, followed by a special intimate production featuring musical performances from Lea Salonga and tributes to Matthew Bourne at the Mark Taper Forum. The night will conclude with dancing on the Jerry Moss Plaza at The Music Center.
As Center Theatre Group’s largest annual fundraiser, proceeds from the event will help the theatre company further its mission to serve the diverse audiences of Los Angeles by producing and presenting theatre of the highest caliber, by nurturing new artists, by attracting new audiences, and by developing youth outreach and arts education programs.
