Live in Cleveland? Want to see Tom Hanks?
August 31, 2009 by Lance Carter
Tom Hanks has never forgotten the Cleveland theater company that gave him his start as an actor and will come back for a fundraiser on October 12th.
He’ll be doing a show called “Tom Hanks at the Hanna” at the downtown Hanna Theatre.
The theater was home of the Great Lakes Theater Festival, which was called the Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival when he was hired in 1977 for his first acting job, paying $45 a week.
He worked at the theater for three summers and got his Actors’ Equity card while there.
Top seats for the upcoming event are $250 and include dinner with him.
Proceeds will go toward the Hanna’s restoration.
