History and Mission

Picture
Point Loma Playhouse was founded in 2006 as Point Loma Actors Theatre in the beautiful historic building of the Point Loma Assembly. This 'Beginner Actor Workshop'  was directed by David Sein while founding Education Director, Patty Hume showcased a variety of comedic short scenes and monologues.

Over time the organization has developed a plethora of workshops, classes and full scale productions. In 2015, we received our 501(c)(3) non-profit status and changed our name to Point Loma Playhouse. Most performances occur in the historic 1911 Point Loma Assembly Building.

Mission Statement
The purpose of the Point Loma Playhouse is to present quality theatre to the public, provide educational opportunities to actors, directors, writers and designers to develop their  creative skills and offer collaborative opportunities for community members to be involved in the production of theatre.

Racial Equity Statement
Point Loma Playhouse is committed as an organization to serve and uplift communities of color in San Diego. We are constantly striving to fill acting roles with racial equitable policies that make our productions satisfying to all races colors and creeds.
Our history reflects these attributes and we are proud of our past and look forward to a future of the same and more.

Values
We value our patrons and volunteers.  We strongly believe in:
  • Integrity
  • Quality
  • Diversity
  • Education
  • Respect
  • Responsibility
  • Teamwork
