Located on campus at UCSD, in La Jolla, CA, The La Jolla Playhouse has three venues: Mandell Weiss Theatre, is a 492-seat proscenium arch theatre; Mandell Weiss Forum is a 400-seat thurst stage theatre, and Jacobs Center & Potiker Theatre is a 450-seat, black box flexible theatre.
Among the productions that originated at the Playhouse before finding success on Broadway are Big River, The Who’s Tommy, Matthew Broderick's revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Jane Eyre, Dracula the Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Billy Crystal's 700 Sundays and Jersey Boys.
La Jolla Playhouse has been home to many up-and-coming performers early in their careers, including John Goodman, Holly Hunter, Linda Hunt, Cynthia Nixon, and Vivian Vance. The Playhouse provides educational opportunities for people of all ages interested in theatre arts, both as performers and behind-the-scenes.
