La Jolla Playhouse Gala
GALA CHAIR: DEBBY JACOBS
Joan Jacobs was a guiding light for La Jolla Playhouse for nearly four decades, through her unwavering philanthropic efforts and deep personal commitment to the Playhouse. La Jolla Playhouse is honored to have been one of Joan’s primary passions. Her tremendous dedication to this theatre has made it possible for us to stay true to our mission as a safe haven for artists to develop the new and the next in American theatre.
Led by Gala Chair Debby Jacobs, this one-of-a-kind event will celebrate the brilliance of Joan Jacobs and the transformative power of theatre. Guests will delight in a spectacular performance, exquisite cuisine by executive chef Jeffrey Strauss, and the best afterparty in San Diego!
