La Jolla Playhouse takes the health and safety of our staff and students very seriously. We will be implementing a comprehensive safety plan based on the current CDC guidelines to ensure safety during our summer in-person programming. If for some reason we feel we cannot safely execute an in-person program, we will make a decision to host a three-week virtual conservatory by May 15, 2021.
