Innovation Night

San Diego’s premier arts and sciences networking event

 

Thank You for Making Innovation Night a Success

Innovation Night was Monday, October 21, 2024. We were delighted to honor Scripps Research, under the leadership of Peter Schultz, Ph.D., as they celebrate 100 years.

Two time WOW Festival favorite, SWAY, made their return to the Playhouse, enchanting audiences and spotlighting La Jolla’s Playhouse’s commitment to transcending artistic boundaries. The remarkable funds raised through sponsorships and generous donations will support the Playhouse’s mission to continue sharing groundbreaking pieces with you all. Your support is greatly appreciated! And if you would like to contribute, there is still time.
