The Akron Civic Theatre proudly presents The Diamond of the Season Gala – Saturday, August 8, 2026 – 6:30 PM

You are cordially invited to join the Ton, where society spills the tea—but drinks the wine. Step into a world of whispered secrets, dazzling alliances, and a most competitive social season, where nobility and gentry—such as yourself—are formally introduced into a realm of elegance and intrigue.

As the evening unfolds, expect sparkling conversation, refined indulgences, and the thrill of social maneuvering at its finest. And beware—there are rumors that a scandal sheet may circulate, penned by none other than the elusive and ever-observant Lady Loretta herself.

Eat from a strolling dinner, decadent desserts, drinks for all, dance the night away on the Civic stage under the stars and be merry. Don’t forget that the queen will be watching to see how generous you are at her illustrious auction tables.
Dress to impress, guard your reputation, and prepare to discover who will be named the true Diamond of the Season.
