Why I Support the Playhouse

I am proud to support La Jolla Playhouse and its commitment to developing bold new work that brings people together. Throughout my career in banking and my involvement in the San Diego community, I have been passionate about creating opportunities for others, building meaningful connections, and supporting organizations that make a lasting impact. 

Those values are part of what draws me to GRIM. Beneath its humor and wonderfully unexpected story is a celebration of life, growth, and the relationships that shape us. I am grateful to support a Playhouse that takes creative risks, champions new voices, and gives artists the opportunity to bring original stories like GRIM to life. It is exciting to be part of an organization that continues to create meaningful experiences for audiences while contributing so much to the cultural life of our community. 

Thank you for all you do to support La Jolla Playhouse. We are so glad you’re here. I hope you enjoy this funny, heartfelt, and truly unique world-premiere musical!
