La Jolla Playhouse presents
We Built This City
October
By Polyglot Theatre
200 person capacity
Run Time: 2 hour duration, in/out access permitted
We Built This City is an interactive play space for families which celebrates absolute simplicity and the power of children’s imaginations. A giant public construction site, We Built This City uses thousands and thousands of cardboard boxes and the energy of kids and families to build a magnificent imagined city. Buildings go up, are pulled down, redesigned, extended, walked through and reconstructed before the whole thing is knocked down into a gloriously chaotic heap of cardboard rubble.
Patron Note
In this hands-on, highly interactive experience, patrons will be asked to play and create with cardboard boxes. Comfortable clothes recommended, all ages welcome.
Walking Travel Time from Festival Village: 6 minutes
Due to the nature of live performance, run times may be over or under the estimated time provided. It is recommended to allow 30 minutes between performances.
