The La Jolla Playhouse, founded in 1947, is where artists and audiences come together to create and experience new and innovative productions for American audiences. Join La Jolla Playhouse Managing Director Debby Buchholz on Tuesday, Jan. 14 for a conversation about how the La Jolla Playhouse helps make San Diego one of the most exciting theater towns in America. Come at 5:30 p.m. for “mix and mingle” refreshments before the 6: p.m. lecture at the Solana Beach Library. The library is located at 157 Stevens Avenue, Solana Beach.Over the past 40 years, La Jolla Playhouse has sent 36 shows to Broadway and many more shows have developed at the Playhouse and moved on to theaters in New York and beyond. Discover what makes La Jolla Playhouse the special “incubator” of new work that it is. How do projects come to the Playhouse, develop at the Playhouse, and then move on to productions throughout the United States and the world? What role does the San Diego audience play in that development process? Buchholz joined the Playhouse in 2002, serving first as general manager before becoming managing director.
