LYNELLE LYNCH CHAIR, BOARD OF TRUSTEES HUNDRED DAYS PRODUCTION SPONSORS LA JOLLA PLAYHOUSE CORPORATE CIRCLE

SEASON SPONSORS Gail & Ralph Bryan We are proud to be long-time supporters of La Jolla Playhouse, and we are excited to invest in the amazing theatre that they produce on their stages. The Playhouse is leading the way in developing new, ambitious productions that are seen not only in La Jolla, but around the country.

$25,000 + Brian & Silvija Devine Supporting the performing arts has been our lifelong endeavor, and we are very pleased to partner with La Jolla Playhouse on Hundred Days. We appreciate the ability of theatre and music to tell a great story and cannot wait to experience the inspiring journey of Abigail and Shaun’s love for each other through their performance. Having just celebrated 54 years of marriage (that’s 19,710 days and counting!), we are keenly aware of how lucky and blessed we are to have these days together. The message of this piece is important – it’s not the number of days you have that matters, it’s cherishing each one and sharing them with the ones you love.

$15,000 + Mintz is proud to partner with La Jolla Playhouse, and we applaud their commitment to developing new plays and musicals and to serving the community with award- winning education and outreach programs. Founded in Boston in 1933, our 500 attorneys span eight offices, including Boston, Los Angeles, New York, San Franciso, Stamford, Washington, DC, London, UK and San Diego. Throughout them all, we are united with the same can-do entrepreneurial spirit, which helps our clients grow. From all of us at Mintz, thanks for supporting La Jolla Playhouse and enjoy the show! $10,000 +
