La Jolla Playhouse, Light Years Away

Please note you are looking at an event that has already happened.

Event Details

The La Jolla Playhouse has spent the month of January in the Annex developing their Pop Tour 2019. Introduced in 1987, the POP Tour travels throughout the county, touring schools, libraries and community centers. After each performance, the cast and crew conduct a question and answer session with the audience.  January 24th & 25th, the Annex will host two free performances of the current year tour, both of which begin at 3:00PM.

 

This year’s production is titled Light Years Away. The year is 2068. Having discovered a new inhabitable planet named YOLO 6, NASA sponsors a contest to discover who should be chosen to live on this new world, and three 5th graders are up for the challenge! They embark on a storytelling journey, learning about the real problems, as well as the real beauty in their current world and what they think should be created in the next. Through their new-found friendship, this individual mission turns them into a team of thinkers ready to lift off on a new path. Audiences will get an opportunity to decide who gets to go to YOLO 6, launching them on their own voyage to dream bigger and celebrate teamwork.
