I WANT TO HELP PROGRAM CIFF46!
Here’s how it works: If you have what it takes to help program a film festival, join us on Friday, February 25th in the stunning Mimi Ohio Theatre at Playhouse Square where we will put your programming skills to work. A handful of short films will be presented, and at the conclusion of each film you will cast your vote. At the end of the evening, the film with the highest score will be guaranteed a spot in the CIFF46 program lineup! Please note: Voting will take place via CIFF’s Text to Vote platform, so be sure to have your smart phone ready to go for the event!
CIFF’s Get Shorty is always a sellout, so don’t miss out on being part of this extraordinary evening at Playhouse Square!

PARKING GARAGE
Playhouse Square has kept event parking affordable for our guests. In fact, at just $20, the on-site Playhouse Square garage is priced lower than other parking facilities at every downtown entertainment and sports venue, where prices are sometimes more than double on event night for lots that can be several blocks away.
The garage offers a covered walkway into the theaters. The walkway is accessible from the 2nd floor of the garage and elevators are available on each parking level.
Purchase night or weekend parking in the Playhouse Square Parking Garage (located at 1450 Chester Avenue).
The Lumen Parking Garage is conveniently located across the street from the theaters, entering on E. 17th Street between Prospect and Euclid.
Parking passes must be purchased prior to the day of your performance.
Note: On the day of your performance, you will not be able to purchase Playhouse Square Parking Garage passes online or at the Box Office. Drive-up on-site parking may still be available at the published on-site rate. No overnight parking.
PURCHASE PARKING IN THE PLAYHOUSE SQUARE GARAGE OR THE LUMEN GARAGE
Valet parking is provided by VIP Valet at Playhouse Square. For your convenience, valet is available on both sides of Euclid Ave.
