San Diego Performing Arts Organizations Unite for San Diego Theatre Week 2017

The second annual San Diego Theatre Week is gearing up to take place on stages across San Diego county from Sunday, February 26 - Sunday, March 5, 2017. Participating performing arts groups will be offering a variety of special promotions for audience members. Offers include ticket discounts, special events and cast talk-backs. The mission of San Diego Theatre Week is to highlight the variety and enhance the awareness of San Diego's diverse performing arts community.

Many arts organizations will offer performances during Theatre Week. Organizations without events that week will have special offers for future events. Tickets for all performances are available through the San Diego Theatre Week website through March 5. Complete information can be found at www.sandiegotheatreweek.com.

"The first Theatre Week was a tremendous success," shared D. Candis Paule, President of the San Diego Performing Arts League, the local organization which serves as a liaison and advocate for performing arts organizations, and runs the ArtsTix Ticket Center in the Horton Plaza Park downtown. "Just as RESTAURANT WEEK is a week for foodies to explore new culinary options while saving money, THEATRE WEEK offers audience members the opportunity to discover new theatre companies and unforgettable arts experiences. It's the perfect chance to try out something new."

Michael S. Rosenberg, La Jolla Playhouse Managing Director shared "Theatre Week is fast becoming an iconic annual event in San Diego. La Jolla Playhouse is pleased to join with nearly 40 other local organizations to participate in this special week that encourages local audiences to explore the many world-class theater offerings right in their own backyard."

San Diego Media outlets including The San Diego Reader, The San Diego Business Journal and KPBS are showing their support for the arts with underwritten advertising. We welcome additional coverage to share San Diego Theatre Week with the community.
