Laguna Playhouse Prepares to Downsize

Occording to the Orange County Register, Laguna Playhouse of Laguna Beach, CA, will be making cutbacks and changes due to declining revenues. In addition to laying off four members of the full-time production staff, downsizing measures include moving out of their leased property in Laguna Hills, which was used as a  rehearsal space and for instruction classrooms.  They have no plans however, to leave their mainstage facility at the Moulton Theatre. Laguna Playhouse's 2010-2011 season will be announced in the coming weeks and is expected to feature five productions compared to their previous seasons of sevens shows.

 Founded in 1920, the Laguna Playhouse is one of the oldest continuously-operating theatres on the West Coast, and has evolved from an amateur theater into a professional League of Resident Theatres (LORT).

 

More than 100,000 theatergoers annually attend performances at the Laguna Playhouse. Noted for its Award Winning Youth Theater, Education and Community Outreach programs, The Playhouse's continued growth, expansion, artistic excellence, audience popularity and critical acclaim have helped make it one of Southern California's most important nonprofit theatre companies.
