Without Walls (WoW) Funded by a generous grant from The James Irvine Foundation, Without Walls is a La Jolla Playhouse initiative designed to break the barriers of traditional theatre. Over the course of four years, the Playhouse has been commissioning and presenting a series of site-based productions at locations throughout the San Diego community. Underscoring the theatre’s mission of providing “unfettered creative opportunities for the leading artists of today and tomorrow,” coupled with the idea that the Playhouse is defined by the work it creates – not the space in which it is performed – WoW is designed to offer theatrical experiences that venture beyond the physical confines of the Playhouse’s facilities.
