La Jolla Playhouse

Tony Award-Winning Regional Theatre

La Jolla Playhouse is a place where artists and audiences come together to create what’s new and next in the American theater –  from Tony Award-winning productions, to imaginative programs for young audiences, to interactive experiences outside our walls. Founded in 1947 by Gregory Peck, Dorothy McGuire and Mel Ferrer, the Playhouse is currently led by Tony Award-winning Artistic Director Christopher Ashley and Managing Director Debby Buchholz. The Playhouse is internationally renowned for the development of new plays and musicals, mounting 108 world premieres, commissioning 70 new works, and sending 35 productions to Broadway – including the hit musicals COME FROM AWAY and JERSEY BOYS  – and garnering 38 Tony Awards, among them the 1993 Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre.
