Also this week, the Playhouse announced a gender-bending Shakespeare comedy and 12 more Without Walls shows
La Jolla Playhouse announced Monday the final two productions of the 2022-23 season this week. It has also unveiled a dozen more shows that will be featured this spring at its annual Without Walls Festival, taking place in April.
Joining the season in February-March 2023 will be “The Outsiders,” a world premiere musical based on S.E. Hinton’s 1967 novel about two rival teen boy gangs fighting over turf in 1960s Oklahoma. It will feature a book by Pulitzer Prize finalist Adam Rapp and a score by Jamestown Revival, an American folk duo comprised of Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance, and Tony winner Justin Levine . Obie Award winner Danya Taymor will direct.
Completing the 2022 season will be a gender-bending production of William Shakespeare’s “As You Like It,” co-directed by Tony-winning Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley and Helen Hayes Award-winning Will Davis . The production will run in November and December of this year. Ashley said he’s wanted to direct “As You Like It” for a long time and the play’s scenes of exile and self-examination in the forest seemed appropriate after two years of pandemic: “It’s a delight to be working with the fantastically talented Will Davis on a fresh, gender-fluid interpretation of Shakespeare’s timeless comedy.”These two shows join the previously announced “Lempicka,” “Here There are Blueberries,” “Fandango for Butterflies ” and “Mother Russia.
