PRODUCTION SPONSORS


Brian and Silvija Devine

Two years ago, we had the joy of watching a new play, SUMO, take its first steps as part of the developmental DNA readings at La Jolla Playhouse. And we were wowed by what we saw! We knew it was a gem in the making, so we were delighted to be able to support this fully-staged production as part of this year’s Playhouse subscription season. We hope SUMO inspires you as much as it inspired us.

Playhouse Partners

The Playhouse Partners, an all-volunteer group that supports La Jolla Playhouse in a myriad of ways, is pleased to be a production co-sponsor for SUMO. This production, which had a developmental reading two years ago in the Playhouse’s DNA program, embodies the spirit of the Playhouse’s commitment to developing new work. All of the Partners are thrilled to see this fully-realized production of SUMO and to play a part in supporting the exciting work of La Jolla Playhouse.


This play is a recipient of an Edgerton Foundation New Play Award which gives world premieres extra funds for an extended rehearsal time. The program rewards excellent scripts in the hope that with a more polished performance, they will join the American canon of frequently produced plays.
