LA JOLLA PLAYHOUSE
Original Producer

The Tony Award-winning La Jolla Playhouse is internationally-renowned for creating some of the most exciting and adventurous work in American theatre through its new play and musical development initiatives and innovative Without Walls series. Led by Tony Award-winning Artistic Director Christopher Ashley and Managing Director Debby Buchholz, the Playhouse was founded in 1947 by Gregory Peck, Dorothy McGuire and Mel Ferrer, and reborn in 1983 under the artistic leadership of Des McAnuff. The Playhouse has mounted 105 world premieres, commissioned 60 new works and sent 33 productions to Broadway, garnering 38 Tony Awards- including the currently-running hit musical Come From Away- as well as Jersey Boys, Memphis, SUMMER: The Donna Summer Musical, Escape to Margaritaville, The Who’s Tommy, Billy Crystal’s 700 Sundays, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning I Am My Own Wife.
