Since 1999, the Playhouse has commissioned 33 new plays and musicals, produced 38 world premieres, hosted more than 100 readings and workshops, and has sent 18 productions to Broadway. This outstanding contribution to the arts is made possible in large part by the annual Gala, which in past years has raised over $1.5 million to benefit the Playhouse’s education and outreach programs and the sponsorship of new play development.
The Gala, co-chaired by Debby and Hal Jacobs, will be held on March 19th, 2016. The evening will begin at 6:00pm with a cocktail party in the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre Lobby in the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Center for La Jolla Playhouse, featuring signature spirits and savory treats. Guests will then move into the Potiker Theatre where they’ll enjoy a specially-prepared, dinner-by-the-bite menu, catered by Chef Jeffrey Strauss and Pamplemousse Grille. After dinner, a one-of-a-kind concert performance will grace the stage, featuring Playhouse performers and artists. The event will be capped off around midnight with late night bites, delectable drinks and dancing.
Ticket prices range from $500 to $5,000. For more information and tickets to the Playhouse Gala, please contact gala@ljp.org or visit LaJollaPlayhouse.org.
