Scope and Content of Collection
Records of the Theatre and Arts Foundation of San Diego County, a non-profit corporation founded in 1954 to promote cultural
development through educational lecture programs, special events, international friendship programs, and the performing arts,
especially the La Jolla Playhouse. Materials include correspondence with funding organizations; prominent San Diego supporters
of the arts, including James S. Copley and William F. Black; and Hollywood supporters Gregory Peck, Mel Ferrer and Vincent
Price. The administrative functions of the Foundation are well documented through fundraising materials for the La Jolla Playhouse;
financial reports; photographs of committees, benefits, buildings and performers; project files, such as the Yokohama Friendship
Commission materials; and legal documents related to incorporation and litigation. Also included are reel-to-reel sound recordings
(1958-1961) of the Meet the Scientist Lecture Series, a program to encourage young people's careers in science. The bulk of
the records date between 1954 and 1980, although several files relate to the early development of the La Jolla Playhouse beginning
in 1947.
Arranged in nine series: 1) CORRESPONDENCE, 2) FUNDRAISING MATERIALS, 3) LEGAL MATERIALS, 4) LA JOLLA PLAYHOUSE, 5) MEET THE
SCIENTIST LECTURE SERIES, 6) YOKOHAMA FRIENDSHIP COMMISSION, 7) PHOTOGRAPHS, 8) FINANCIAL MATERIALS, and 9) MISCELLANEOUS
MATERIALS.
Historical Background
The La Jolla Playhouse was established in the spring of 1947 by Hollywood actors Mel Ferrer, Gregory Peck and Dorothy McGuire
under the management of producer David Selznick of the Actors Company of Hollywood. The Playhouse was created to showcase
motion picture actors and actresses and to fulfill a public desire for legitimate professional theatre in San Diego. The Playhouse
soon enlisted the financial sponsorship of the La Jolla Kiwanis Club. Between 1947-1954, the Playhouse featured classic and
new plays, as well as modified versions of Broadway successes. Celebrites such as Vincent Price, Eva Gabor, Vivian Vance,
and Charleton Heston performed on stage with the La Jolla Playhouse.
In 1954, the La Jolla-San Diego County Theatre and Arts Foundation, later renamed the Theatre and Arts Foundation of San
Diego County, was incorporated to promote cultural development through the performing arts and to conduct a campaign for funds
to build a performing arts center for the benefit of the community. At the time, the La Jolla Playhouse staged productions
at the La Jolla High School auditorium. That same year, the Foundation was granted non-profit, tax-exempt status and assumed
sponsorship of the La Jolla Playhouse. Marian Longstreth became the Foundation president and began developing a public appreciation
of the arts through educational lectures, outside attractions, and a robust fundraising campaign. The Playhouse relied on
local, membership and corporate donations, and, by 1961, had acquired acreage on the campus of the University of California,
San Diego, to build a sizable theatre, but lacked major funding for the building.
The Theatre and Arts Foundation hosted the "Meet the Scientist" Lecture Series that featured presentations by internationally
prominent local scientists to high school students, as well as the premiere showing of Gregory Peck's film
To Kill a Mockingbird. The Foundation also became involved with the Yokohama Friendship Commission of San Diego, undertaking a book exchange project
and fabric exhibition with San Diego's sister city of Yokohama, Japan.
In 1978, the University of California's Board of Regents approved the new theater plans and two years later ground was broken,
only after a substantial contribution from Mandell Weiss. The opening night at the new theater was June 24, 1983, thirty-six
years after the first mention of the La Jolla Playhouse.
