Yale Night at the La Jolla Playhouse

November 09, 2015 at 6:00 pm

The La Jolla Playhouse and Yale Repertory Theatre are co-producing the play INDECENT.

Written by Pulitzer-prize winning playwright Paula Vogel and directed by Rebecca Taichman, Indecent is a world premiere play with music inspired by the true events surrounding the controversial 1922 Broadway debut of The God of Vengeance – a work considered by many to be a seminal work of Jewish culture and by others a work of traitorous libel. Alive with popular songs of the era, this deeply moving piece charts the history of an incendiary work, the artists who risked their careers and lives to perform it, and the evolving identity of the culturally-rich community that inspired its creation.

Ms. Vogel, Ms. Taichman and La Jolla Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley are all accomplished Alumni of Yale University School of Drama.

Mr. Ashley will join the Yale Club of San Diego for a three-course pre-show dinner from 6 to 8 pm on November 19 at James Place, nestled in the heart of La Jolla Playhouse. The $125 per person costs includes two bottles of wine per table of six, tax and tip. Simply fill out this form to book your dinner reservations (to be made no later than November 1, 2015).
