La Jolla Playhouse 2016 Gala

La Jolla Playhouse’s annual Gala is an extraordinary fundraising event that features entertainment by award-winning performers. Co-chaired by Debby and Hal Jacobs, in past years the Gala has raised over $1.5 million to benefit the Playhouse’s education and outreach programs and the sponsorship of new play development.

The evening will begin with a cocktail party in the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre Lobby in the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Center for La Jolla Playhouse, featuring signature spirits and savory treats. Guests will then move into the Potiker Theatre where they’ll enjoy a specially-prepared, dinner-by-the-bite menu, catered by Chef Jeffrey Strauss and Pamplemousse Grille. After dinner, a one-of-a-kind concert performance will grace the stage, featuring Playhouse performers and artists. The event will be capped off around midnight with late night bites, delectable drinks and dancing.
