Founded in 1920, the historic Laguna Playhouse is one of the oldest continuously operating, not-for-profit theatres on the West Coast and proud to be an active participant in the celebrated Laguna Beach arts community. Offering an eclectic mix of classic plays and musical comedies to the current off-Broadway smash, cutting edge and traditional music exhibitions, dance festivals and stand-up comedy performances, Laguna Playhouse brings the magical experience of the performing arts direct to over 80,000 patrons each season. Laguna Playhouse Youth Theatre offers educational programming which includes year-round classes and productions by and for children and teens. It is one of the few organizations in the region that offers a curriculum-based professional theatre touring program, TheatreReach, which aligns with the California State Standards for literature, history and performing arts curriculum. Laguna Playhouse is also home to the annual Laguna Dance Festival, Laguna Beach Music Festival and Laguna Community Concert Band.
