WELCOME TO THE PLAYHOUSE
Dear Friends:
Ruined, Lynn Nottage’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, personifies theatre’s power to bring the world to our
doorstep and make us listen and care.
Reports of the wars in the Democratic Republic of Congo rarely make the front pages of our newspapers,
and major occurrences have been at a distance from our daily lives. In Ruined, we are immediately drawn
into the mercurial world of Mama Nadi’s bar and brothel on the edge of a rainforest, where Congolese
miners and soldiers come for respite. The women under her aegis, victimized by soldiers as the spoils of
war, are refugees from plundered villages in the region.
Savvy and morally ambiguous, Mama Nadi exploits her women but also protects them. She lays down the rules for the men
who frequent her tiny oasis: no bullets, no brawling and leave the war at the door. As the plight of the women is brought
to the fore, their pain and suffering is given voice. We cannot turn our eyes from the brutal impact of their experiences as
they navigate the treacherous line between life and death. The miracle of Nottage’s Ruined is that it celebrates the women’s
resilience and victory over despair — they find hope where there appears to be none.
Under the circumstances of the strife in the Congo, interactions between men and women are fraught with danger and
suspicion. Yet, they drink, dance and sing in defiance of the hellish conflicts that can disrupt their reprieve at any moment.
Music, food, drink, sex and an occasional poem become tethers to the lifeblood of the Congo and their humanity.
I’m extremely proud to partner with the Huntington Theatre Company and Berkeley Repertory Theatre, where our production
will travel after its run at the Playhouse. When I first saw the play, I was riveted and ultimately shaken by its power. It lingered
with me for a long time. I hope it will with you.
Sincerely,
Christopher Ashley
Artistic Director

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Dear Patrons,
You are participating in a vibrant time at La Jolla Playhouse! A recent fall evening represented a microcosm
of our exciting season. Hundreds of area students and teachers gathered in the Forum to view a reading
of the next Performance Outreach Program (POP) tour production of Frida Libre; corporate executives
networked at a corporate supporter event Jai restaurant; Inner Circle donors listened intently to a
conversation between Christopher Ashley and Limelight Director/Choreographer Warren Carlyle; invited
guests attended a dress rehearsal of Notes from Underground; and an inspired audience gave a standing
ovation to a performance of Limelight. This diversity of offerings is what makes the Playhouse such a special place.
We were also proud to celebrate “La Jolla Playhouse 2010 Tony Award Day” on September 28, 2010, in honor of Memphis
winning the 2010 Tony Award for Best Musical. Just a week later, more than 400 leaders of the bio-tech and high-tech
industries came together to network and support the Playhouse during the third annual (and sold out) Innovation Night.
Tonight we welcome to the stage a socially important play Ruined, which won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
So much of what La Jolla Playhouse has been able to accomplish is because of you — our audience and donors — and the
support you provide. Now, we are thrilled to announce a great opportunity for your donations to stretch even further. Thanks to
the generosity of a few lead donors, every new or increased donation to this season’s annual fund will be matched one-to-one.
By giving generously now, your contribution will double in its impact.
Please join us as we aspire to another pinnacle in the life of La Jolla Playhouse. You can make your gift today by contacting
Jessica Burger, Individual Giving Associate, at (858) 550-1070 x142. Every dollar ensures that outstanding theatre continues to
enrich the greater San Diego community, and indeed the nation. We thank you for working with us to make this happen, year
after year.

In Memoriam
Rita Bronowski
(1917 - 2010)
The staff, Board and patrons of La Jolla Playhouse are
saddened by the loss of our friend Rita Bronowski —
founding member, beloved trustee, donor, volunteer and
lifelong theatre enthusiast.
Rita was an early supporter of the effort to establish
a theatre on the campus of UC San Diego, and as a
member of the search committee for its artistic director,
helped to set the future course of the re-born La
Jolla Playhouse. She was active as a member of the
Playhouse Board of Trustees, serving on a number of
committees. A fervent believer in theatre for young
audiences, she also supported the Playhouse’s POP
Tour that brings live theatre to young people across San
Diego County.
Rita was a founding member of the Salk Institute Art
and Science Forum, recently renamed the Bronowski
Art and Science Forum, as well as a major supporter of
The Old Globe and the San Diego Symphony. She was
also a member of the Charter 100 Club and the English
Speaking Union, where for many years she organized the
Shakespeare Competition for high school students.
A steadfast supporter of the Playhouse and numerous
cultural institutions in San Diego, Rita will always be an
indelible part of the theatre’s past, present and future.

generations through a bequest in their estate.

La Jolla Playhouse hopes you will be inspired by the Revelles to review your financial and estate plans to consider how
philanthropic legacy planning could benefit you and help build the Playhouse endowment. Regardless of the size of your
estate or the size of your gift, we would be honored to be counted among your philanthropic priorities.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS
is proud to introduce our community partners for
Alliance for African Assistance
serves refugees in San Diego, providing
them with access to housing, employment,
and all the tools they need to become
self-sufficient in an adoptive nation so
different from their past reality, it’s difficult
to envision. Every day, we do for refugees
what playwright Lynn Nottage hopes to
achieve with Ruined: “…connecting with
living, breathing human beings, not just statistics.” Our
refugees come from Congo, Uganda, Somalia, Rwanda,
Iraq, Colombia, Nepal, and Burma, to name a few. All of
them have been through ruin. All of them have persevered.
Call Tara Hunt at (619) 286-9052 or visit
www.alliance-for-africa.org for more information.
Women’s International Center [WIC]
was founded in 1982 with the mission to "acknowledge, honor, encourage, and educate
women." For twenty-eight years this 501(c)3 non-profit charity has brought people together
to celebrate the accomplishments of women and encourage relief initiatives around the world.
Please join them on January 15, 2011 for our Living Legacy Awards at the Joan B. Kroc
Institute for Peace and Justice at San Diego University from 4:00 - 8:00 pm. Their honorees
include Dilkhwaz Ahmed, Natalie Cole, Marye Anne Fox, Kathryn Marie Arger Gang, Jackée
Harry, Mary Lyons, Scripps McDonald Center, Women‘s Resource Center and Other Worlds
are Possible.

OUR MISSION
La Jolla Playhouse advances theatre as an
art form and as a vital social, moral and
political platform by providing unfettered
creative opportunities for the leading artists
of today and tomorrow. With our youthful
spirit and eclectic, artist-driven approach,
we will continue to cultivate a local and
national following with an insatiable
appetite for audacious and diverse work. In
the future, San Diego’s La Jolla Playhouse
will be considered singularly indispensable
to the worldwide theatre landscape, as
we become a permanent safe harbor for
the unsafe and surprising. The day will
come when it will be essential to enter the
La Jolla Playhouse village in order to get
a glimpse of what is about to happen in
American theatre.
