Affairs Of State

About

La Jolla Playhouse presented Louis Verneuil’s Broadway hit comedy Affairs of State as part of its 1952 summer season, marking the work’s West Coast Premiere. The production was directed and lit by James Neilson, with sets by Ariel Ballif, reflecting the Playhouse’s repertory approach that summer. Performances took place in the La Jolla High School auditorium, the Playhouse’s seasonal venue in this era, continuing the founders’ mission to bring star-driven professional theatre to the community.
