Reserve Your TWISTED Tickets

Rainey Institute proudly presents TWISTED: A Tale From East 55th, a bold and magical re-imagining of The Wizard of Oz, The Wiz, and Wicked — with a Cleveland twist you won’t want to miss!

Join us as our talented young performers take you on a journey through Wine & Gold City, where familiar stories meet fresh beats, vibrant characters, and the unstoppable spirit of Rainey. With heart, humor, and hometown pride, this original mashup celebrates courage, friendship, and finding your power — no matter where you’re from.

TWISTED tickets can be purchased for Thursday, May 8th and Friday, May 9th and should be reserved in advance. The show starts at 5:30 PM for all performances in Rainey's Debra Ann November Theater. We hope to see you there!

Glissando Par-Tee Recap

At our Glissando Par-Tee on April 24th, Rainey gathered at Topgolf with our community of dedicated donors, sponsors, and partners. Not only did guests enjoy a fun evening of golf and a celebration of our students, staff, and honorees, but Rainey also raised over $55,000 to support our arts education programs! Thank you to everyone who attended and supported for making the event so special.
